Docetaxel 80 mg Injection — Taxane Chemotherapy for Solid Tumours
Docetaxel 80 mg Injection is a potent chemotherapy medicine used in the treatment of various advanced cancers, including breast cancer, prostate cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, gastric (stomach) cancer, and head & neck cancer. It belongs to the taxane class of anticancer drugs that work by blocking cancer cell division and growth, slowing tumour progression and improving response when used alone or in combination with other chemotherapy agents. Administered as an intravenous infusion by trained oncology professionals, docetaxel requires careful blood cell monitoring, liver function assessment, and supportive steroid pre-medication to minimize side effects. Common side effects include low white blood counts, hair loss, nausea, fatigue, and fluid retention.
