Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Idaoxia Work?

  1. Inhibiting DNA synthesis: It interferes with the synthesis of DNA and RNA in cancer cells, preventing them from proliferating.
  2. Targeting specific pathways: Idaoxia may target certain signaling pathways that are essential for cancer cell survival and growth, promoting apoptosis (programmed cell death).

Common Dosages

  • Idaosine: The usual starting dose is 100 mg taken orally once daily. Dosage may be adjusted based on individual response and tolerability.

Typical Dosing

  • For chronic myeloid leukemia: The recommended starting dose is usually 100 mg orally once daily, which can be adjusted based on treatment response and side effects.

Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML)
  • Other hematologic malignancies as determined by healthcare providers.

Who Shouldn't Take Idaoxia?

  • Known hypersensitivity to idaosine or any components of the formulation.
  • Severe hepatic impairment, as the drug may exacerbate liver conditions.

Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Take Idaoxia exactly as prescribed, and do not miss doses, as this can affect treatment outcomes.
  • Regular monitoring of blood counts is essential to assess for potential cytopenias (low blood cell counts) and liver function.
  • Report any unusual symptoms or side effects to your healthcare provider immediately.
