Cisplatin is a chemotherapy medication used for the treatment of various types of cancer, including testicular, ovarian, bladder, and lung cancer. It works by binding to the DNA of tumor cells, inhibiting their replication and inducing cell death.

The medication is administered intravenously, as directed by a doctor, usually in a hospital or specialized clinic. It is important for patients to be monitored to prevent severe side effects.

Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, kidney dysfunction, or ototoxicity. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. In rare cases, severe reactions such as kidney failure or hearing loss may occur. Patients should be informed of these risks before starting treatment.
