What is Temozolomide 100mg?

Temozolomide 100mg is an oral alkylating chemotherapeutic agent that works by damaging the DNA of cancer cells, preventing them from dividing and growing. The tab temozolomide 100 mg is designed for precision dosing and is suitable for both initial therapy and maintenance treatment.

Temozolomide Uses

The main temozolomide uses include:

• Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM): Often prescribed after surgery or with radiotherapy.

• Anaplastic Astrocytoma: Used in newly diagnosed or recurrent cases.

• Other Brain Tumors: Used selectively based on oncologist recommendation.

Temozolomide 100mg helps control tumor growth, prolong survival, and improve quality of life for patients with malignant brain tumors.

How Does Temozolomide Work?

The mechanism of action of temozolomide involves adding methyl groups to DNA in cancer cells, which damages their genetic material and prevents further cell division. This targeted effect makes temozolomide a cornerstone in treating malignant brain tumors.

Temozolomide Dose

The temozolomide dose depends on the patient’s body surface area, type of tumor, and treatment schedule.

• Standard Adult Dose: Usually 75 mg/m² daily during radiotherapy, followed by 150–200 mg/m² daily for maintenance cycles.

• How to Take: Tab temozolomide 100 mg should be taken orally, preferably on an empty stomach with water.

• Treatment Cycle: Commonly 5 consecutive days every 28 days.

Always follow your oncologist’s advice regarding temozolomide dose.
