Thiotepa
別名: Thioplex, Ledertepa, Onco Tiotepa, Tespamin
Your pet has been prescribed a potent chemotherapy medication. Please read the following carefully: * **Toxicity Risks:** This drug can cause severe side effects, including a drop in white blood cells (increasing infection risk), red blood cells (anemia), and platelets (bleeding risk). In rare cases, chemotherapy can cause secondary tumors or be life-threatening. * **When to Call the Vet:** Contact your veterinarian immediately if your pet shows signs of abnormal bleeding, bruising, loss of appetite, vomiting, yellowing of the eyes/skin (jaundice), or signs of infection (like fever or extreme lethargy). * **Safe Handling at Home:** Because this is a hazardous drug, your pet's bodily fluids (urine, feces, vomit) may contain traces of the medication for a few days after treatment. Wear disposable gloves when cleaning up waste, and wash your hands thoroughly afterward. Pregnant women, nursing mothers, and immunocompromised individuals should avoid contact with the pet's waste.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。

- > **WARNING:** Thiotepa has a very low therapeutic index and should only be administered by clinicians experienced with cytotoxic agents. * **Organ Dysfunction:** Use with extreme caution in patients with hepatic dysfunction or renal function impairment (dosage adjustment may be necessary). * **Bone Marrow:** Weigh risks vs. benefits in patients with pre-existing bone marrow depression, active infections, or tumor cell infiltration of the bone marrow. * **Urolithiasis:** Use cautiously in patients with a history of urate urinary stones, as thiotepa may increase serum uric acid levels. * **Nursing:** It is unknown if thiotepa enters maternal milk; use of a milk replacer is strongly recommended for nursing bitches or queens.
藥物相互作用
- Immunosuppressive drugs (e.g., azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, corticosteroids): May increase the risk of severe infections due to additive immunosuppression.
- Myelosuppressive drugs (e.g., chloramphenicol, flucytosine, amphotericin B, colchicine): Extreme caution required; bone marrow depression may be additive and lead to severe pancytopenia.
- Live Vaccines: Increased risk of vaccine-induced infection or reduced vaccine efficacy; use with extreme caution, if at all.
