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