Mesna Injection

Active Ingredients: Mesna

Mesna Injection is a cytoprotective drug used in cancer chemotherapy. It helps protect the bladder and kidneys from hemorrhagic cystitis, a serious side effect of certain anticancer drugs like ifosfamide. Mesna does not change the effect of these antineoplastics, but it does make them less harmful to the body.

Mesna is a sulfhydryl compound that works to detoxify acrolein, a urotoxic byproduct, that accumulates in the bladder.

What is Mesna used for?

It is used to protect the bladder and kidneys during cancer chemotherapy treatments that use cyclophosphamide or ifosfamide.

How should Mesna Injections be used?

This medication is manufactured as a liquid, which is to be given by injection into a vein. It should only be administered by a doctor or healthcare provider. It is given together with cytotoxic drugs that produce urotoxic byproducts.

What dosage should be given?

For the prevention of Hemorrhagic Cystitis, the usual dose is 240mg/m² for 1.2 g/m² of ifosfamide, given 15 minutes before and 4 and 8 hours after treatment with ifosfamide.

The exact dose for adults and children is based on body size and the dose of ifosfamide. Refer to a doctor or pharmacist for guidelines on dosage. Do not exceed what they advise.
