Mycidac C Injection
$53.91
$33.97
Mycidac-C Injection is an immunomodulator composed of heat-killed Mycobacterium W (Mw), indicated to treat NSCLC (Non-small Cell Lung Cancer) along with other anticancer agents leading to improvement in overall response, quality of life, and survival of patients. It contains the active ingredient Mitomycin C, a type of chemotherapy drug. It can be used with other chemotherapy drugs or as a standalone treatment. Patients should avoid live vaccines while receiving Mycidac-C Injection or several months after completing the treatment as the immune system may weaken. This medication can increase the risk of radiation-induced toxicity when combined with radiation therapy. Dose adjustments or close monitoring may be required in such patients.
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient
Uses
• Non-small cell lung cancer
• Bladder cancer
• Melanoma

Benefits
The therapeutic effect of Mycidac-C Injection is primarily related to its ability to treat certain types of cancer. As an antineoplastic agent, it interferes with the DNA synthesis of cancer cells, ultimately leading to their death.
Side Effects
Like all medications, Mycidac-C causes some side effects, although not everyone will experience them.
Most Common Side Effects
• Injection site reactions such as pain, swelling, or redness
• Fatigue
• Nausea and vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Decreased appetite

• Low white blood cell count
Common Side Effects

• Liver toxicity (abdominal pain and jaundice)
• Kidney toxicity (decreased urine output, swelling in the legs or feet)
• Low white blood cell count
How To Use
Mycidac-C Injection is a medication administered intravenously (IV) by a healthcare professional. It is important to follow the healthcare provider's instructions regarding the dosage and administration of medication. Do not double the dose to make up for missed doses.
Safety Advice
• Breast Feeding: It is unknown whether Mycidac-C is excreted in human milk. So breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking it.
• Alcohol: Alcohol use can negatively affect the immune system, and patients receiving Mycidac-C may already have compromised immune systems due to their medical condition or treatment. Therefore, it is generally recommended that patients limit their alcohol consumption or avoid alcohol entirely while receiving it.
• Liver: Patients with pre-existing liver disease or impaired liver function may be at increased risk for the potential side effects of Mycidac-C Injection, including liver toxicity. So patients should discuss it with their healthcare provider before taking it.
• Lungs: Mycidac-C Injection can cause side effects, and the safety of its use in the lungs depends on several factors. Patients should consult their doctor if they have any pre-existing health condition before taking this medication.
• Driving: Patients should always monitor their response to the medication and be cautious when driving or operating machinery if they experience any side effects that may impair their ability to do so safely.
• Pregnancy: Mycidac-C may harm the developing fetus, so it is unsafe to use it during pregnancy.
