Bandrone (Ibandronic acid)

Brand name: Bandrone

Active Ingeridents (Generic Name) : Ibandronic acid

Company Name: Natco

Package: Vial

Strength : 6mg

Indication:

It is used in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and metastasis-associated skeletal fractures in people with cancer. It may also be used to treat hypercalcemia (elevated blood calcium levels).

Also, Treating osteoporosis (weak bones) in women who are past menopause. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor. Ibandronate is a bisphosphonate. It works by slowing bone loss and allowing new bone to be formed.

Mechanism of action:

The action of Bandrone (Ibandronic acid)on bone tissue is based partly on its affinity for hydroxyapatite, which is part of the mineral matrix of bone. Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (such as pamidronate, alendronate, risedronate, ibandronate and zoledronate) appear to act as analogues of isoprenoid diphosphate lipids, thereby inhibiting farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) synthase, an enzyme in the mevalonate pathway. Inhibition of this enzyme in osteoclasts prevents the biosynthesis of isoprenoid lipids (FPP and GGPP) that are essential for the post-translational farnesylation and geranylgeranylation of small GTPase signalling proteins. This activity inhibits osteoclast activity and reduces bone resorption and turnover. In postmenopausal women, it reduces the elevated rate of bone turnover, leading to, on average, a net gain in bone mass.

Dosage & Administration:

Use Bandrone (Ibandronic acid)as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

· Bandrone (Ibandronic acid)comes with an extra patient information sheet called a Medication Guide. Read it carefully. Read it again each time you get Bandrone (Ibandronic acid)refilled.

· Bandrone (Ibandronic acid) is given as an injection at your doctor's office, hospital, or clinic. Contact your health care provider if you have any questions.

· Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Bandrone (Ibandronic acid).

Side effects:

All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:

Diarrhea; dizziness; headache; heartburn; mild arm, back, leg, muscle, or joint pain; mild flu-like symptoms (eg, mild fever, chills, tiredness, weakness, joint or muscle aches); nausea; pain, swelling, or redness at the injection site; stomach pain or upset.

Precaution:

Before taking Bandrone (Ibandronic acid), tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to other bisphosphonates; or if you have any other allergies.

Store: Bandrone (Ibandronic acid)is handled and stored by a health care provider. You will not store it at home. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children and away from pets.

Temonat (Temozolomide) 

Brand name: Temonat

Active Ingeridents(Generic Name) : Temozolomide 

Company Name: Natco

Package: 5 Capsules

Strength: 250mg

Indication:

It is used as a treatment of some brain cancers; as a second-line treatment for astrocytoma and a first-line treatment for glioblastoma multiforme.

Temonat (Temozolomide) is an antineoplastic agent. It works by stopping cancer cells from growing and reproducing.

Mechanism of action:

The therapeutic benefit of Temonat (Temozolomide) depends on its ability toalkylate/methylate DNA, which most often occurs at the N-7 or O-6 positions ofguanine residues. This methylation damages the DNA and triggers the death of tumor cells. However, some tumor cells are able to repair this type of DNA damage, and therefore diminish the therapeutic efficacy of Temonat (Temozolomide) , by expressing a protein O⁶-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase (AGT) encoded in humans by the O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene.In some tumors, epigenetic silencing of the MGMT gene prevents the synthesis of this enzyme, and as a consequence such tumors are more sensitive to killing by Temonat (Temozolomide) .Conversely, the presence of AGT protein in brain tumors predicts poor response to Temonat (Temozolomide) and these patients receive little benefit from chemotherapy with Temonat (Temozolomide) . 

Dosage and Administration:

• This medication is given in a capsule form by mouth.
• Take on an empty stomach (1 hour before or 2 hours after meals or at bedtime) to reduce stomach upset.
• Do not open, crush, or chew capsules; swallow capsules whole with full 8 ounces of water.
• The frequency and the amount of this medication you will receive depends on many factors, including your height and weight, your general health or other health problems, and the type of cancer you have. Your doctor will determine your dosage and schedule.

Side effects:

All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:

Anxiety; back pain; breast pain; constipation; cough; diarrhea; dizziness; drowsiness; dry skin; hair loss; headache; joint pain; loss of appetite; mild stomach pain; mouth or tongue sores; muscle aches; nausea; taste changes; tiredness; trouble sleeping; vomiting; weakness; weight gain.

Precaution:

• Before starting Temonat (Temozolomide) treatment, make sure you tell your doctor about any other medications you are taking (including prescription, over-the-counter, vitamins, herbal remedies, etc.). Do not take , or products containing aspirin unless your doctor specifically permits this.
• Do not receive any kind of immunization or vaccination without your doctor''s approval while taking Temonat (Temozolomide) .

Fulvenat (Fulvestrant)

Brand name: Fulvenat 

Active Ingeridents (Generic Name) : Fulvestrant

Company Name: Natco 

Package: One prefilled syringe containing 5ml or 250mg Fulvenat (Fulvestrant)

Strength : 250mg/5ml

Indication:

Fulvenat (Fulvestrant) is an anti-estrogen medication. It works by blocking the actions of estrogen in the body. Certain types of breast cancer use estrogen to grow and multiply in the body.

Fulvenat (Fulvestrant) is used to treat a certain type of hormone-related breast cancer in postmenopausal women, when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body after treatment with anti-estrogen medication.

Fulvenat (Fulvestrant) is also used together with a medicine called palbociclib, to treat certain hormone-related breast cancer that has progressed or spread after treatment with hormonal therapy.

Mechanism of action:

Fulvenat (Fulvestrant) competitively and reversibly binds to estrogen receptors present in cancer cells and achieves its anti-estrogen effects through two separate mechanisms. First, Fulvenat (Fulvestrant) binds to the receptors and downregulates them so that estrogen is no longer able to bind to these receptors. Second, Fulvenat (Fulvestrant) degrades the estrogen receptors to which it is bound. Both of these mechanisms inhibit the growth of tamoxifen-resistant as well as estrogen-sensitive human breast cancer cell lines. 

Dosage & Administration:

As an injection into the muscle (intramuscular, IM), Fulvenat (Fulvestrant) is usually given as a once a month injection. Your doctor will determine any variations to this dosing or schedule.

Side effects:

Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction to Fulvenat (Fulvestrant): hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Common Fulvenat (Fulvestrant) side effects may include:

Headache, bone pain, joint pain, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, constipation; weakness, feeling tired; cough, trouble breathing; abnormal liver function tests; hot flashes; or pain where the medicine was injected.

Precaution:

• Before starting Fulvenat (Fulvestrant) treatment, make sure you tell your doctor about any other medications you are taking (including prescription, over-the-counter, vitamins, herbal remedies, etc.). Do not take , or products containing unless your doctor specifically permits this.
• Let your health care professional know if you have ever had a blood clot that required medical treatment.
• Inform your health care professional if you are pregnant or may be pregnant prior to starting this treatment. Pregnancy category D (Fulvenat (Fulvestrant) may be hazardous to the fetus. Women who are pregnant or become pregnant must be advised of the potential hazard to the fetus).
