PHARMORUBICIN

Pharmorubicin Information

Pharmorubicin is a drug also commonly known as Epirubicin, an anticancer medicine. It belongs to the medicinal group of substances called cytotoxic anthracycline antibiotics, synthetic compounds derived from substances present in certain bacterial and fungal organisms. This substance acts by permeating the targeted cells and, once there, it binds the strands of genetic material together stopping the cell from producing genetic material or proteins. This causes the cell to stop growing and eventually to die.

Pharmorubicin Indications

Pharmorubicin is commonly employed in the treatment of several variations of cancerous affections. Although it is very commonly seen on the prescriptions of patients suffering from breast cancer, myeloma (a form of bone marrow cancer), lymphoma (cancer of the lymph nodes), cancer of the ovaries, colorectal cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, lung cancer, leukemia or superficial bladder cancer, it may also be used to treat other types of malignancies that are not listed in this information leaflet. Your personal health care specialist will decide if a therapy course with Pharmorubicin may be beneficial in your case, and as such will decide whether or not to prescribe you a treatment course with this medicine.
