WHAT PEMETREXED FRESENIUS KABI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Pemetrexed Fresenius Kabi is a medicine used in the treatment of
cancer.
Pemetrexed Fresenius Kabi 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 Fresenius Kabi is also given in combination with cisplatin
for the initial treatment of
patients with advanced stage of lung cancer.
Pemetrexed Fresenius Kabi 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 Fresenius Kabi is also a treatment for patients with
advanced stage of lung cancer whose
disease has progressed after other initial chemotherapy has been used.
