Mechanism of Action

Doxorubicin is an anthracycline antibiotic that works by intercalating into DNA and inhibiting topoisomerase II, an enzyme essential for DNA replication. It also generates free radicals that damage cellular components, leading to cancer cell death. This dual action disrupts the growth and division of rapidly multiplying cancer cells.

Dosage & Administration

Doxorubicin Injection should be administered only by qualified healthcare professionals in specialized oncology settings. The dosage and frequency depend on the patient’s condition, body surface area, and treatment protocol. It is usually given intravenously. Strict adherence to prescribed dosage is essential to minimize the risk of toxicity.

• Nausea and vomiting
• Hair loss (alopecia)
• Fatigue
• Bone marrow suppression

Precautions & Warnings

Use under strict medical supervision. Doxorubicin may cause cardiotoxicity, so monitoring of heart function is recommended during treatment. Caution is advised in patients with liver impairment or pre-existing cardiac conditions. Avoid self-medication and follow prescribed chemotherapy protocols. Prevent duplication with other anthracycline drugs.

Doxorubicin may interact with other cytotoxic drugs, immunosuppressants, and cardiotoxic agents, increasing the risk of adverse effects. Concurrent use with other chemotherapy agents should be carefully monitored by healthcare professionals.
