Clocental

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

Clocental is a pharmaceutical drug used in the treatment of cancer. It is a chemotherapeutic agent that works by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. Clocental is primarily used in the treatment of leukemia, but it can also be used in the treatment of other types of cancer.

Mechanism of Action

Clocental works by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. It does this by interfering with the DNA replication process, which is essential for cell division and growth. By disrupting this process, Clocental can slow down or stop the growth of cancer cells.

Uses

Clocental is primarily used in the treatment of leukemia. It can also be used in the treatment of other types of cancer, depending on the specific circumstances and the judgement of the treating physician.

Side Effects

Like all chemotherapeutic agents, Clocental can have side effects. These can include nausea, vomiting, hair loss, and fatigue. More serious side effects can include anemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia. Patients should discuss potential side effects with their physician before starting treatment with Clocental.

Contraindications

Clocental should not be used in patients who have a known allergy to the drug. It should also not be used in patients who have severe liver or kidney disease, as these conditions can affect the body's ability to metabolize and eliminate the drug.
