Holoxan is used to treat a range of cancers, including testicular cancer, ovarian cancer, and lung cancer. It contains ifosfamide, a chemotherapy drug that destroys cancer cells by interfering with DNA and preventing cell division. Holoxan is given intravenously and is often combined with other medications to enhance its effectiveness. Patients must be closely monitored during treatment because
Holoxan may cause side effects such as low blood cells, bladder irritation, hair loss, and fatigue. Therefore, it is essential to drink plenty of water and use auxiliary medications to protect the bladder. The drug should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The doctor should be informed of all other medications being taken to avoid interactions and complications.
