Introduction to Doxulip 50mg Injection

Cancer is a disease in which cells multiply in an uncontrolled and abnormal manner. This medication treats breast cancer, ovarian cancer, multiple myeloma (cancer of white blood cells called plasma cells), and AIDS-related Kaposi’s sarcoma.

People with HIV infection have the highest risk of Kaposi’s sarcoma (cancer that forms in the lining of the lymph and blood vessels). Doxulip 50mg Injection may be given alone or in combination with other anticancer medicines. This medication is not recommended for adolescents and children.

Use effective birth control during the treatment and at least six months after the last dose.
