What Carboplatin Actavis is<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Carboplatin Actavis contains carboplatin which belongs to a group of medicines called platinum compounds which are used to treat cancer. What Carboplatin Actavis is used for<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Carboplatin Actavis is used to treat advanced ovarian cancer and small cell lung cancer. Carboplatin contained in Carboplatin Actavis may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information. Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professional if you have any further questions and always follow their instructions. If any of these apply to you and you have not already discussed this with your doctor or nurse, you should do so as soon as possible and before receiving an infusion. Carboplatin Actavis is usually given to patients in hospitals. Under normal circumstances, do not use this medicine on your own. Your doctor or nurse will give you the medicine and will monitor you closely and often during and after treatment. Normally, blood samples are taken for analysis before each infusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Talk to your doctor or nurse before receiving Carboplatin Actavis<\/p>\n\n\n\n The effect of carboplatin on the blood-forming system may be increased or prolonged if you have poor kidney function compared to patients with normal kidney function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your doctor will want to check on you more often if you have poor kidney function. If any of these apply to you and you have not already discussed this with your doctor or nurse, you should do so as soon as possible and before receiving an infusion. During treatment with carboplatin, you are given medicines to reduce the risk of a potentially life-threatening complication called tumor lysis syndrome, which is caused by a chemical imbalance in the blood due to the breakdown of dying tumor cells that release their contents into the bloodstream. The infusion solution may be diluted with another solution before administration. Talk to your doctor to make sure it is suitable for you. Tell your doctor if you think your child has hearing problems, as hearing loss is more common in children who are being treated with this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines as they may affect or be affected by Carboplatin Actavis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should not receive vaccines that contain live viruses during treatment with carboplatin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no known interaction between Carboplatin Actavis and alcohol. However, you should consult your doctor as Carboplatin Actavis may affect the liver’s ability to handle alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before using this medicine. If any of these apply to you and you have not already discussed this with your doctor or nurse, you should do so as soon as possible and before receiving an infusion. Pregnancy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You should not be treated with Carboplatin Actavis while you are pregnant unless your doctor considers it absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Animal studies have shown that there is a risk of malformations in the fetus. If you are being treated with Carboplatin Actavis while you are pregnant, talk to your doctor about the possible risks to the unborn baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Women of childbearing potential must use effective contraception both before and during treatment with carboplatin. Because carboplatin can cause damage to the genome, genetic counseling is recommended if you become pregnant during treatment with carboplatin. Genetic counseling is also recommended for patients who want to have children after treatment with Carboplatin Actavis. Breast-feeding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is not known whether carboplatin is excreted in human milk. Therefore, you should not breast-feed while you are being treated with Carboplatin Actavis. Fertility<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Carboplatin can cause damage to the genome. Women of childbearing potential should avoid becoming pregnant by using effective contraception during treatment. Genetic counseling is recommended for women who are pregnant or become pregnant during treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Men treated with carboplatin should refrain from becoming the father of a child during the treatment period and for at least six months after the end of treatment. Sperm storage should be considered before treatment due to the risk of persistent infertility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carboplatin does not affect your ability to drive or use machines. However, you should be especially careful when you receive your first infusion, especially if you feel dizzy or insecure. You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention. One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or side effects. Descriptions of these effects and side effects can be found in other sections. Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. An infusion is always given by a nurse or doctor. It is usually given as a drip into a vein ( intravenously ) and usually takes between 15 and 60 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ask the doctor or nurse who gives\/has given the infusion one if you want more information. The dose you receive depends on your height and weight, on how good your blood formation is, and on your kidney function. The doctor will choose the dose that is best for you. The infusion solution is diluted before use. Adults<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The usual dose is 400 mg \/ m\u00b2 body surface area (calculated using your height and weight). Older<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The usual dose for adults can be used, although the doctor may choose to use another dose. Kidney problems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The amount of medicine you receive may vary depending on how well your kidneys are working. If you have kidney problems, your doctor may reduce the dose one and also often want to take blood samples and monitor your kidney function. Infusion is given by a doctor who has experience in cancer treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carboplatin has not been used in children sufficiently to provide recommendations for a specific dose. You may feel unwell while being treated with Carboplatin Actavis. Your doctor may prescribe you another medicine to reduce nausea before you are treated with Carboplatin Actavis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dose limits of Carboplatin Actavis are normally given four weeks apart. Your doctor may want to take blood samples every week after you receive Carboplatin Actavis to determine the correct dose for your next infusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is unlikely that you are getting too much carboplatin. However, should this occur, you may have some kidney, liver, vision, and hearing problems and a low white blood cell, count . If you are worried that you have been given too high a dose or if you have any questions about the dose you have been given, talk to the doctor or nurse who is giving you the medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is very unlikely that you will miss a dose because your doctor has instructions on when to get the medicine. If you think you have not been given a dose, talk to your doctor or nurse. If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Tell a doctor as soon as possible if you notice any of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Very common side effects (may affect more than 1 user in 10):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Common side effects ( <\/strong>may affect <\/strong>up to 1 in 10 people):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Uncommon side effects ( <\/strong>may affect <\/strong>up to 1 in 100 people):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rare side effects ( <\/strong>may affect <\/strong>up to 1 in 1,000 people):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Very rare side effects ( <\/strong>may affect <\/strong>up to 1 in 10,000 people)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Has been reported (occurs in an unknown number of users)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Reporting of side effects<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.
