WHAT ARMISARTE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Armisarte is a medicine used in the treatment of cancer. It contains
the active substance pemetrexed.
Pemetrexed belongs to a group of medicines known as folic acid
analogues and disrupts processes that
are essential for cells to divide.
Armisarte 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.
Armisarte is also given in combination with cisplatin for the initial
treatment of patients with advanced
stage of lung cancer.
Armisarte 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.
Armisarte is also a treatment for patients with advanced stage of lung
cancer whose disease has
progressed after other initial chemotherapy has been used.
