Follow these instructions when Rubilong 2 MG Injection 10 ML is administered:

• This medicine must only be administered by qualified healthcare professionals in hospital settings.

• Special infusion pumps are used to ensure safe delivery of the medicine.

• Careful monitoring is required throughout the administration process.

• The infusion area should be checked regularly to prevent leakage into surrounding tissues.

Rubilong 2 MG Injection 10 ML is administered intravenously.

Rubilong 2 MG Injection 10 ML contains doxorubicin in liposomal form (2 mg), which works on the body through several mechanisms:

• DNA intercalation: Doxorubicin inserts itself between DNA base pairs in cancer cells, preventing the DNA double helix from resealing after being unwound by an enzyme called topoisomerase II. This blocks DNA replication and RNA synthesis, stopping cancer cells from multiplying.

• Free radical generation: The medicine creates unstable molecules called free radicals that damage various components within cancer cells, contributing to their death.

• Enhanced permeability and retention: The liposomal encapsulation (tiny fat-based particles surrounding the medicine) allows preferential accumulation in tumour tissues. This happens because tumours have leaky blood vessels that permit liposome entry, while normal tissues remain relatively protected.

• Reduced systemic toxicity: The liposomal formulation alters the distribution of the medicine throughout the body, potentially decreasing exposure to sensitive organs, such as the heart.

• Store Rubilong 2 MG Injection 10 ML in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C.

• Keep the medicine in its original packaging to protect it from light exposure.

• Never freeze this medication.

• Store away from children's reach.

• Check the expiry date before use and discard if it has expired.

• During treatment with Rubilong 2 MG Injection 10 ML, maintain good nutrition with protein-rich foods (eggs, lentils, and fish) to help your body recover from cancer therapy and support immune function.

• Consider gentle physical activity, such as short walks, when you feel able, as this may help manage cancer-related fatigue that can occur during your treatment course.
