Cardioxane ampoules are used to protect the heart from the harmful effects of some chemotherapy drugs used in cancer treatment, such as doxorubicin. They reduce heart muscle damage by reducing the toxic reactions caused by these treatments. Cardioxane is given intravenously and is usually part of the treatment plan determined by the specialist doctor according to the case. It is used immediately before or with the chemotherapy dose to achieve the maximum possible protection. It does not affect the effectiveness of the treatment against the tumor, but it helps reduce long-term heart complications. Some side effects may appear, such as fatigue or low blood pressure, but they are often temporary.
Cardioxane remains an important option for patients at high heart risk.
