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