Pregnancy<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Doxorubicin should not be used if you are pregnant. Tell your doctor immediately if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant.

Precautions for men and women<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sexually active men and women should use an effective method of contraception during and up to 6 months after treatment. Women treated with Doxorubicin Teva should not become pregnant during and up to 6 months after treatment. Men treated with doxorubicin should ensure that their partner does not become pregnant during and up to 6 months after treatment.

Fertility<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Doxorubicin can cause permanent infertility and men should therefore seek advice on storing (or freezing) semen before treatment. If you are considering having children after treatment, you should discuss it with your doctor. Due to frequent nausea and vomiting, you are advised not to drive or use machines while receiving Doxorubicin Teva. 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. Discuss with your doctor if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This medicine contains 18 mg sodium (the main ingredient in table salt\/table salt) per 5 ml vial, 35 mg sodium per 10 ml vial, 89 mg sodium per 25 ml vial, and 354 mg sodium per 100 ml vial. This corresponds to 0.9%, 2%, 4%, and 18% respectively of the highest recommended daily intake of sodium for adults. Doxorubicin will be given to you under the supervision of a doctor who has experience in cancer treatment. Intravenous administration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dose one is usually calculated based on body surface area. Doxorubicin Teva can be given e.g. once a week, every three weeks, or at longer intervals. Dosage one and how often the medicine should be given also depends on what other cancer medicines are used and on what disease you have and your general condition. Your doctor will decide what dose to take. Injection ( instillation ) into the bladder<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dose one is 30-50 mg doxorubicin in 25-50 ml saline solution. The injection ( installation one) can be repeated at 1 week to 1-month intervals. Your doctor will determine how often installation is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dosage should be reduced in children. Doctors will advise you on how much you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have ingested too much medicine or if e.g. If a child has inadvertently ingested the medicine, contact a doctor, hospital, or the Poison Information Center for risk assessment and advice. Because you will be given the medicine in a hospital, it is unlikely that you will get an overdose. However, if you have any further questions, ask your doctor or nurse immediately. In acute overdose, side effects such as sores in the mouth, reduced white blood cell counts, and platelets can worsen and can lead to heart problems. Your doctor will take appropriate action if you have an overdose. Heart problems can occur six months after an overdose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
