WHAT VYXEOS LIPOSOMAL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT VYXEOS LIPOSOMAL IS
Vyxeos liposomal belongs to a group of medicines called
‘antineoplastics’ used in cancer. It contains
two active substances, called ‘daunorubicin’ and ‘cytarabine’,
in the form of tiny particles known as
‘liposomes’.
These active substances act in different ways to kill cancer cells by
stopping them from growing and
dividing. Packaging them in liposomes prolongs their action in the
body and helps them to enter and
kill the cancer cells.
WHAT VYXEOS LIPOSOMAL IS USED FOR
Vyxeos liposomal is used to treat patients with newly diagnosed acute
myeloid leukaemia (a cancer of
the white blood cells). It is given when the leukaemia was caused by
previous treatments (known as
therapy related acute myeloid leukaemia) or when there are certain
changes in the bone marrow
(known as acute myeloid leukaemia with “myelodysplasia-related
changes”).
