1.
WHAT TEPADINA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
TEPADINA contains the active substance thiotepa, which belongs to a
group of medicines called
alkylating agents.
TEPADINA is used to prepare patients for bone marrow transplantation.
It works by destroying bone
marrow cells. This enables the transplantation of new bone marrow
cells (haematopoietic progenitor
cells), which in turn enable the body to produce healthy blood cells.
TEPADINA can be used in adults and children and adolescents.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE TEPADINA
DO NOT USE TEPADINA
-
if you are allergic to thiotepa,
-
if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant,
-
if you are breast-feeding,
-
if you are receiving yellow fever vaccination, live virus and
bacterial vaccines.
WARNING AND PRECAUTIONS
You should tell your doctor if you have:
-
liver or kidney problems,
-
heart or lung problems,
-
seizures/fits (epilepsy) or have had them in the past (if treated with
phenytoin or fosphenytoin).
Because TEPADINA destroys bone marrow cells responsible for producing
blood cells, regular blood
tests will be taken during treatment to check your blood cell counts.
In order to prevent and manage infections, you will be given
anti-infectives.
TEPADINA may cause another type of cancer in the future. Your doctor
will discuss this ri
