Mitotane is a synthetic chlorinated alkyl compound, the chemical name is 1,1-dichloro-2-(O-chlorophenyl)-2-(p-chlorophenyl)ethane. It works mainly by interfering with the normal physiological functions of adrenal cortex cells.
There are several versions of Mitotane, which are mainly manufactured by different pharmaceutical companies with different packaging specifications. At present, the main circulating version on the market is Mitotane produced by Lucius Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., with a specification of 500mg*100 tablets and a price of about 1800 yuan.
The above prices are for patients and their families only, and due to the complex and dynamic nature of the pharmaceutical market, the version of Mitotane is subject to change over time and as the market changes. Different versions of Mitotane should be similar in chemical composition and pharmacological action, but their quality and purity may vary due to differences in production processes and quality control standards.
The following are the things that patients need to be aware of during their treatment with Mitotane.
The therapeutic dose of Mitotane needs to be adjusted according to the patient's specific situation to ensure the best treatment effect and reduce side effects. The initial dose is generally low and then gradually escalated to a maintenance dose. Patients should be closely monitored for plasma levels and adverse effects when adjusting the dose.
During the use of Mitotane, it is necessary to regularly monitor the patient's liver function, blood routine, urine routine, and other indicators to detect and manage possible side effects in a timely manner.
Although the metabolism of mitotan has little to do with diet, maintaining good eating habits can help the overall health of the patient. Patients should try to avoid diets high in fat, sugar, and salt, and consume foods rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals.
Mitotane may interact with other medications, so concomitant use of drugs that may increase their side effects or decrease their efficacy should be avoided when used. If a combination of drugs is required, it should be done under the guidance of a doctor.
During the daily use of Mitotane, the following should also be noted.
Mitotane tablets should be avoided from being crushed or exposed to air as a result of increasing the patient's risk of exposure to the drug. Protective measures such as gloves should be worn when in contact with drugs.
Mitotane may affect the patient's nervous system function, causing symptoms such as drowsiness and dizziness. Therefore, patients should try to avoid activities that require a high degree of concentration, such as driving a vehicle or operating machinery, while taking the drug.
【Warm tips】When patients buy generic drugs, they should choose formal channels to ensure the quality and safety of the drugs. Avoid purchasing counterfeit products from informal sources.
