Mitotane is specifically developed for the treatment of inoperable adrenal cortical carcinoma, hyperplasia, and neoplastic hypercortisolism, and its core mechanism of action is to inhibit adrenal cortical function.
The following are the daily precautions during the use of Mitotane:
The dosage and method of administration of Mitotane should be strictly guided by your doctor. Patients should not adjust the dose or change the mode of administration on their own, so as not to affect the efficacy of the drug or increase the risk of adverse effects. Be sure to take it on time and in the right amount to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment.
During the use of Mitotane, patients should pay close attention to their physical condition and inform their doctor immediately in case of adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, rash, etc. These reactions may be a manifestation of drug intolerance or allergies, and prompt treatment can prevent exacerbations of symptoms or affect treatment plans. At the same time, regular follow-up examinations are carried out in the hospital to monitor biochemical indicators such as liver and kidney function to ensure the safety of medication.
In addition to the above daily precautions during the administration of Mitotane, preparations should also be made before taking the drug.
The following are the pre-medication preparations for Mitotane therapy:
Before using Mitotane, it should be ensured that the patient's diagnosis is clear and that the drug is really needed for treatment.
