My mother has colon cancer and will be on the folfox 4 regimen for chemotherapy.? |
Does anyone know if the generic drug of Oxaliplatin manufactured by Dabur Pharma Limited,India , is as effective as the branded Oxaliplatin drug? I have no idea, but with something this serious and Oxaliplatin is essential for colon cancer, I would not use drugs from another country. There have been instances of problems with imported drugs. If the generic has the same dosage as its branded counterpart, they work the same. Usually the difference would be in the fillers or other ingredients that the company includes in the drug. Even different brands (not generic) of drugs have different fillers, thus the variation in side effects. My mom was diagnosed with colon cancer a year ago and finished her treatments this past December - she had fol fox and her oncologist reassured her that they drugs were equivalent! the best of luck to you both - my mom did fairly well with her treatments - she was very tired and some neropathy! My grandmother had colon cancer and she use generic drug of Oxaliplatino in her chemotherapy and she is doing well, the most important is to have Fe on God and pray that every thing go well. |
