Bortezomibum is a medication used for the treatment of multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma. It is a proteasome inhibitor that interferes with essential cellular processes in cancer cells, leading to their death.
The medication is administered via subcutaneous or intravenous injection, usually in treatment cycles, as directed by a doctor. The dosage and duration of treatment are adjusted based on the patient's condition and response to therapy.
Common side effects include fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, peripheral neuropathy, and decreased blood cell counts. In rare cases, more severe adverse effects such as heart failure or pulmonary toxicity may occur.
Bortezomibum is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, as it may affect fetal development. Patients should inform their doctor about all medications they are taking to avoid drug interactions.
