Uromes

Description
Uromes contains Mesna, a uroprotective agent used alongside certain chemotherapy drugs such as Ifosfamide and Cyclophosphamide to prevent hemorrhagic cystitis (bladder toxicity). It works by binding harmful metabolites in the urinary tract, protecting bladder tissue without affecting the anticancer activity of chemotherapy.

Primary Uses

• Prevention of chemotherapy-induced hemorrhagic cystitis.

Indications

• Administered with urotoxic chemotherapeutic agents (e.g., Ifosfamide, Cyclophosphamide) to reduce the risk of bladder irritation, bleeding, and inflammation.

• May be used intravenously or orally (as per treatment protocol).

Dosage & Administration

• Dose and timing depend on the chemotherapy regimen.

• Commonly given intravenously at 60–100% of the chemotherapy dose, divided across multiple intervals.

• Must be administered strictly under medical supervision.

Side Effects

• Common: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, headache.

• Less Common: hypotension, rash, flushing, fatigue.

• Rare: hypersensitivity reactions or fever.

Warnings

• Monitor urine output and hydration status during treatment.

• Report any urinary discomfort, burning, or visible blood immediately.

Contraindications

• Known hypersensitivity to Mesna or similar thiol compounds.

Doctor’s Overview
Dr. Faisal R. (Oncologist): “Mesna is essential when using urotoxic chemotherapy agents. It significantly reduces bladder complications without interfering with cancer treatment. Compliance with timing is critical for full protection.”
