🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionThis medicine is given directly into a vein, so absorption from the gastrointestinal tract does not apply. It is completely available in the bloodstream after intravenous administration.

DistributionAfter intravenous administration, this medicine distributes widely into body tissues, with high concentrations in the kidneys, liver, and intestines. It also enters the inner ear and peripheral nerves, which explains some of its side effects. It crosses the placenta and can enter breast milk.

Protein BindingThis medicine is highly bound to plasma proteins, mainly albumin. The unbound fraction is the active form that enters cells and causes effects.

MetabolismThis medicine is not significantly metabolized by the liver. It undergoes chemical transformation in the body, including aquation and binding to proteins and other molecules. The platinum moiety is slowly released from tissues over time.

Half-LifeThe elimination half-life of this medicine is biphasic. The initial half-life is about 20 to 30 minutes, and the terminal half-life is about 24 hours to several days because platinum binds to tissues and is released slowly. The exact values can vary between patients.

ExcretionThis medicine is mainly excreted by the kidneys. About 20 to 45 percent of the dose is excreted in the urine within 24 hours, and a larger fraction is excreted over several days. Kidney function affects how quickly the medicine is removed from the body.

BioavailabilityBioavailability is 100 percent because this medicine is given directly into the bloodstream by intravenous infusion.

Onset of ActionThe anticancer effects begin after the medicine enters the cancer cells and binds to DNA, which occurs within hours of infusion. However, visible clinical response may take weeks to months.

Peak Plasma TimePeak plasma concentration occurs at the end of the intravenous infusion.

Duration of ActionThe effects of this medicine last for days to weeks because platinum remains bound to tissues and DNA. The exact duration varies between patients and depends on kidney function and the dose given.

How It Works

This medicine works by entering cancer cells and becoming activated to form reactive platinum species that bind strongly to DNA. The platinum atoms form cross-links between strands of DNA, which prevents the DNA from being copied and repaired properly. This stops cancer cells from dividing and triggers cell death. Because cancer cells divide more often than most normal cells, they are more affected by this medicine, but some normal tissues such as the kidneys, nerves, and inner ear can also be harmed.

Mechanism Steps

1

Entry into cells: This medicine enters cancer cells and normal cells through passive diffusion and possibly through copper transporters.

2

Activation: Inside the cell, the chloride atoms on the platinum molecule are replaced by water molecules in a process called aquation, which makes the molecule highly reactive.

3

DNA binding: The activated platinum species binds to nitrogen atoms on guanine bases in DNA, forming cross-links within and between DNA strands.

4

Blocking DNA function: These cross-links prevent DNA from being copied and transcribed, which stops cancer cells from growing and dividing.

5

Cell death: The damaged DNA triggers cell death pathways, leading to the death of cancer cells.

💡 How to Take cisget 50mg injection

Strength: Injection: 50 mg per vial (50 mg/50 mL or as specified by the manufacturer). This medicine is a sterile concentrate for solution for infusion.

1This medicine is given by a healthcare professional in a hospital or cancer centre. You do not take it at home.

2You will receive fluids through an intravenous line before and after the infusion to protect your kidneys.

3Anti-sickness medicines are usually given before the infusion to prevent nausea and vomiting.

Dosage Information

Adult Dosage	The dose of this medicine is determined by your oncologist based on the type of cancer, your body size, kidney function, and overall health. It is usually given as an intravenous infusion over several hours. Common regimens may use doses ranging from 50 to 100 mg per square meter of body surface area, repeated every 3 to 4 weeks, but the exact dose and schedule must be individualized by a qualified clinician. This medicine is always given with plenty of fluids and anti-sickness medicines to reduce side effects. Never attempt to adjust the dose yourself.
Pediatric Dosage	Pediatric dosing is not established from available information. Consult a pediatric oncologist for individualized dosing.
Elderly Dosage	Elderly patients may be more sensitive to the side effects of this medicine, especially kidney damage, hearing loss, and nerve damage. Kidney function declines with age, so the dose may need to be reduced. Close monitoring of kidney function, blood counts, and hearing is recommended. The dose must be individualized by a qualified clinician.
Renal Impairment	This medicine is mainly removed by the kidneys. Patients with kidney problems may need a lower dose or may not be able to receive this medicine at all. Kidney function tests are done before each cycle. If kidney function worsens, the dose may be reduced or treatment may be delayed. Adequate hydration is essential. The dose must be individualized by a qualified clinician.
Hepatic Impairment	This medicine is not primarily metabolized by the liver, so liver problems may not require a dose change. However, patients with severe liver impairment should be monitored closely. The dose must be individualized by a qualified clinician.
Maximum Daily Dose	The maximum dose is determined by the treatment protocol and must not exceed the dose prescribed by your oncologist. Doses are usually calculated based on body surface area and given in cycles. Do not exceed the prescribed dose.
