Manufactured by Eskayef Pharmaceuticals Ltd., a leader in oncology innovation, and supplied globally by Onco Solution, this injection delivers concentrated efficacy to disrupt DNA synthesis and topoisomerase II activity, offering renewed hope for patients with refractory or high-risk malignancies.
Key Benefits
High-Dose Efficacy: 50 mg formulation enables potent tumor suppression with optimized dosing.
- DNA-Targeted Action: Intercalates with DNA and inhibits topoisomerase II, halting cancer cell replication.
- Versatile Application: Effective for ovarian cancer, Kaposi’s sarcoma, and myeloma in combination therapies.
- Global Accessibility: Supplied by Onco Solution, ensuring reliable access to critical therapies.
Indications
The Doxotor 50 mg (Doxorubicin) Injection is indicated for:
- Advanced Ovarian Cancer: Post-failure of platinum-based chemotherapy.
- AIDS-Related Kaposi’s Sarcoma: After intolerance or failure of prior systemic treatments.
- Multiple Myeloma: Combined with bortezomib in patients with ≥1 prior therapy.
Pharmacology
- Mechanism of Action: Doxorubicin binds to DNA, disrupting replication and transcription, while inhibiting topoisomerase II, leading to apoptosis in rapidly dividing cancer cells.
- Cytotoxic Spectrum: Demonstrates broad activity against solid tumors and hematologic cancers, including multidrug-resistant strains.
