Alimta Injection 500 Mg 1 Vial

Doctors prescribe Alimta Injection 500 mg (Pemetrexed) as a chemotherapy drug for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and malignant pleural mesothelioma. It works by interfering with the growth of cancer cells, thereby slowing their spread in the body.

Each vial contains 500 mg of Pemetrexed disodium in sterile powder form. A trained healthcare professional must reconstitute and administer it through intravenous infusion. Often, oncologists combine Alimta with other anticancer medications to improve treatment outcomes.

Your oncologist will determine the correct dosage based on several factors, including your medical condition, body surface area, and treatment response. Therefore, this medicine must never be self-administered. Only qualified medical staff should handle its preparation and delivery in a clinical setting.

Alimta is a prescription-only medication. Before starting treatment, talk to your doctor about potential side effects. These may include low blood cell counts, fatigue, nausea, and an increased risk of infections. If any serious symptoms occur, seek medical attention promptly.

Store the vial in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C. Avoid freezing, and protect it from light. Additionally, always keep the medication out of the reach of children.
