Warning & Precautions
When calculating and administering the dose of Eldisine 5 mg injection, it is crucial to exercise extreme caution, as an overdose can lead to severe or fatal consequences.
Eldisine should be injected into a large vein to prevent leakage into surrounding tissues, which can cause irritation, cellulitis, or vein swelling.
During therapy with vindesine, patients may experience low platelet counts, neurotoxicity, and reduced granulocyte counts. Therefore, it is important to monitor patients closely for any signs of nerve damage or infection and provide appropriate treatment.
Women of reproductive age with an active male partner should use effective contraception during and for several months after treatment with Eldisine to prevent unwanted pregnancy.
Breastfeeding women should avoid nursing during treatment with vindesine, as it may harm the baby.
