Vepsid belongs to a class of anticancer treatments and is used to combat tumors such as small cell lung cancer and testicular cancer. The drug works by breaking the DNA sequence within the cell, which leads to the cell stopping its activity and preventing it from multiplying. It is prescribed either as tablets or as a liquid given intravenously, depending on the treatment plan developed for each patient by the doctor.
Vepsid may cause a decrease in immunity, which makes the body more susceptible to infection. Therefore, it is recommended to follow blood tests regularly and monitor body temperature. It may also cause loss of appetite, fatigue, or hair loss. It is necessary to strictly adhere to the doctor's instructions and avoid using the drug during pregnancy to ensure the safety of the fetus.
