Amfosted 500mg Injection contains amifostine, a chemoprotective medication that helps protect your body from the damaging effects of cancer treatments. It belongs to a class of medicines called adjunct chemoprotective agents. This injection is used to protect the kidneys from harmful effects of cisplatin chemotherapy in ovarian cancer patients and to reduce severe mouth dryness caused by radiation therapy following head and neck cancer surgery. Amfosted works by shielding healthy cells from chemotherapy and radiation damage while allowing cancer-fighting treatments to work effectively.
Before starting treatment with Amfosted 500mg Injection, inform your doctor if you have a history of low blood pressure, stroke, seizures, liver disease, kidney disease, or heart problems. Do not use this medicine if you are allergic to amifostine or any ingredients in the injection. If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, discuss the risks with your healthcare provider. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and reduced blood pressure.
Key points
The active metabolite in Amfosted 500mg Injection provides cellular protection against chemotherapy and radiation damage. Once in your body, it is quickly absorbed by cells where it neutralizes harmful platinum and alkylating agent metabolites—the toxic byproducts of cancer medications. The medication also scavenges free radicals that damage healthy cells, inhibits cell death, and modifies protective gene expression. This dual action preserves normal cell function while allowing chemotherapy and radiation to target cancer cells effectively.
Amfosted 500mg Injection is administered exclusively by trained healthcare professionals in a hospital or cancer treatment center. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose, administration method, and treatment duration based on your specific cancer type, disease severity, body weight, age, and overall health status. This medication is given as an intravenous (IV) injection directly into your vein. Never attempt to self-administer this injection.
