About Neocarb 450Mg Inj

Neocarb 450Mg Inj belongs to a group of anti-cancer medicines used for the treatment of ovarian cancer and small-cell lung cancer. It may sometimes be used to treat other cancers. Cancer forms in tissues of the ovary (one of a pair of female reproductive glands in which the ova, or eggs, are formed). Small-cell lung cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the lung.

Neocarb 450Mg Inj contains 'Carboplatin'. Carboplatin acts by penetrating the cell wall and binding to the cell's DNA, stopping the cell from naturally dividing and functioning, ultimately destroying the cell. These medicines target cancer cells because they often affect rapidly dividing cells.

Neocarb 450Mg Inj is prescribed by a doctor experienced in the use of medications to treat cancer. It is administered by a healthcare professional as an injection. You may experience nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, thrombocytopenia (a low platelet count), peripheral neuropathy (nerves malfunction), nephrotoxicity at high doses and electrolyte disturbances. Most of these side effects of Neocarb 450Mg Inj do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
