Tropisetron Hydrochloride Injection

Function and Efficacy

Tropisetron hydrochloride is used for a maximum of 6 days in any chemotherapy cycle. Pharmacological action Tropisetron hydrochloride is a potent and highly selective competitive antagonist of 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 (5-HT3) receptors in peripheral neurons and the central nervous system. Certain substances, including some chemotherapeutic drugs, can stimulate the chromaffin-like cells of the visceral mucosa to release 5-hydroxytryptamine, thereby inducing a vomiting reflex accompanied by nausea. This product mainly inhibits the vomiting reflex by selectively blocking the presynaptic 5-HT3 receptors of peripheral neurons. In addition, its antiemetic effect may also be related to its inhibition of the stimulation of the vagus nerve in the rear area by directly blocking the central 5-HT3 receptors. Toxicological studies Genetic toxicity: Literature reports that tropisetron hydrochloride has no obvious effect on mouse bone marrow micronuclei.

Appearance

Indication

Prevention and treatment of nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy.

Usage and Dosage

Children: It is generally not recommended for children. If it must be used due to medical conditions, refer to the following dosage: The dosage for children over 2 years old is 0.2 mg/L, and the maximum dosage can reach 5 mg/day. Day 1 intravenous administration: Dissolve tropisetron hydrochloride in 100 ml of commonly used infusion solution (such as normal saline, Ringer's solution or 5% glucose solution) and quickly drip or slowly push intravenously before chemotherapy. It can be taken orally on days 2 to 6. Take an appropriate amount of tropisetron hydrochloride solution from the ampoule, dilute it with orange juice or cola, and take it immediately in the morning when you get up (at least 1 hour before breakfast). Adults: The recommended dose for adults is 5 mg/day, once a day, and the course of treatment is 6 days. Day 1 intravenous administration: Dissolve tropisetron hydrochloride in 100 ml of commonly used infusion solution (such as normal saline, Ringer's solution or 5% glucose solution) and quickly drip or slowly push intravenously before chemotherapy.

Adverse Reactions

Tropisetron hydrochloride is generally well tolerated, and adverse reactions at the recommended dose are transient. The most commonly reported adverse reaction is constipation (11%) caused by the use of 5 mg, and these adverse reactions are more common in slow metabolizers than in normal metabolizers. Other common adverse reactions include headache, dizziness, vertigo, fatigue, and gastrointestinal disorders such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. There are also individual reports of collapse, syncope, and cardiac arrest, but the causal relationship with tropisetron hydrochloride cannot be determined. There are also individual reports of one or more of the following type I hypersensitivity reactions: facial flushing and/or systemic rash, chest tightness, dyspnea, acute bronchospasm, and hypotension.

Precautions

It is contraindicated in patients allergic to tropisetron and pregnant women.

Special Population Medication

Precautions for children: It is generally not recommended. If it must be used for medical reasons, please refer to [Usage and Dosage]. [Use in Elderly Patients] No dosage adjustment is required for elderly patients. Precautions for pregnancy and lactation: It is contraindicated for pregnant women. It has not been confirmed whether tropisetron hydrochloride is secreted into human milk, so patients taking the drug should not breastfeed.

Drug Interactions

1 If tropisetron hydrochloride is used simultaneously with rifampicin or other liver enzyme-inducing drugs (such as phenobarbital), the plasma concentration of tropisetron hydrochloride may be reduced. Therefore, patients with normal metabolism need to increase the dose (poor metabolizers do not need to increase the dose). 2 Cytochrome P450 enzyme inhibitors such as cimetidine affect the plasma concentration of tropisetron hydrochloride. Under normal use, no dose adjustment is required. 3 Clinically insignificant QTc prolongation has been observed in patients receiving high-dose (80 mg) intravenous tropisetron hydrochloride injection. Therefore, great care should be taken when using it in combination with other drugs that may cause QTc prolongation. 4 Patients with heart rate or conduction abnormalities and those taking anti-

Storage

Store in a dark, airtight container at a temperature below 30°C. The diluted drug solution should maintain chemical and physical stability for at least 24 hours. However, in order to achieve better pharmacological effects, it should be used within 3 hours after preparation. It should not be used after the expiration date indicated on the package. The expiration date is tentatively set at 24 months.
