WHAT PEMETREXED MEDAC IS AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR
Pemetrexed medac is a medicine used in the treatment of cancer.
Pemetrexed medac is given in combination with cisplatin, another
anti-cancer medicine, as treatment
for malignant pleural mesothelioma, a form of cancer that affects the
lining of the lung, to patients
who have not received prior chemotherapy.
Pemetrexed medac is also given in combination with cisplatin for the
initial treatment of patients with
advanced stage of lung cancer.
Pemetrexed can be prescribed to you if you have lung cancer at an
advanced stage if your disease has
responded to treatment or it remains largely unchanged after initial
chemotherapy.
Pemetrexed medac is also a treatment for patients with advanced stage
of lung cancer whose disease
has progressed after other initial chemotherapy has been used.
