WHAT SAVENE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Savene contains the active substance dexrazoxane, which acts as an
antidote to anti-cancer medicines
called anthracyclines.
Most anti-cancer medicines are administered intravenously (into a
vein). Occasionally an accident
occurs and the medicine is infused outside the vein and into the
surrounding tissue or leaks from the
vein into the surrounding tissue. This event is called extravasation.
It is a serious complication as it
can cause severe tissue damage.
Savene is used to treat anthracyline extravasation in adults. It can
reduce the amount of tissue damage
caused by anthracycline extravasation.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE SAVENE

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Talk to your doctor or nurse before using Savene:

-
During treatment with Savene the area where the extravasation has
occurred will be examined
