Xplatin 50 MG Injection 25 ML contains Oxaliplatin (50 mg), which acts on your body through these mechanisms:

• DNA Synthesis Prevention: Oxaliplatin forms cross-links both within and between strands of your DNA, which hinders DNA synthesis.

• Transcription Interruption: By disrupting the transcription process of DNA, it further impedes the growth of cancer cells.

• Cell Death Induction: The disruption of DNA synthesis and transcription eventually leads to cell death, particularly affecting rapidly dividing cells like those found in cancers.

• Store Xplatin 50 MG Injection 25 ML in a cool, dry place.

• Keep it away from direct light.

• Ensure the injection is kept out of reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date before use and do not use the injection if expired.

• Include plenty of fruits and vegetables in your diet. These foods are high in fibre and can help manage bowel movements, a key factor for those dealing with colorectal cancer.

• Regular gentle exercise, like walking or yoga, can help manage fatigue associated with the use of Xplatin 50 MG Injection 25 ML. Always consult your doctor before starting any exercise regimen.
