Flurasted 500 Injection belongs to a group of anti-cancer medicines called 'antimetabolites' used to treat breast, colon, rectum, pancreatic and stomach/gastric cancer. Cancer is a disease in which cells divide uncontrollably. Cancer can be localized (benign) or spread to the whole body (metastasized). Flurasted 500 Injection contains 'Fluorouracil' that works by interfering with the growth of genetic material (DNA and RNA) of the cancer cells. This prevents the cancer cells from multiplying and growing and eventually kills them. In some cases, Flurasted 500 Injection may cause nausea, vomiting, weakness, loss of appetite, increased risk of infection, hair loss, diarrhoea, decreased blood cells, and mouth ulcers. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. Inform your doctor if you have a metabolic disorder called DPD (dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase) deficiency, heart problems, bone marrow depression, kidney disease, liver disease, or if you are on treatment with chemotherapy or radiation. Avoid taking Flurasted 500 Injection if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Both women and men on treatment with Flurasted 500 Injection should use birth control to avoid pregnancy.

Bluecan Injection is a brand of Methylene Blue Injection, primarily used in medical settings for its diagnostic and therapeutic properties. ________________________________________ 🩺 Uses of Bluecan Injection 1. Treatment of Methemoglobinemia: Methylene Blue is the first-line treatment for methemoglobinemia, a condition where methemoglobin levels are elevated, impairing oxygen delivery to tissues. It acts as a reducing agent, converting methemoglobin back to hemoglobin, thereby restoring normal oxygen transport. 2. Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): It is sometimes used as a urinary antiseptic to treat UTIs, although its use for this purpose has become less common with the advent of more effective antibiotics. 3. Surgical Dye: In surgical procedures, Methylene Blue is used as a dye to delineate tissues, identify sentinel lymph nodes, or assess organ perfusion. 4. Diagnostic Tool: It is used in diagnostic procedures to assess the function of certain organs, such as the kidneys, and to evaluate the patency of ducts. ________________________________________ ⚠️ Side Effects While generally well-tolerated, potential side effects of Methylene Blue Injection include: • Injection site reactions (pain, redness, swelling) • Headache • Dizziness • Nausea or vomiting • Skin discoloration (temporary blue or greenish tint) • In rare cases, serotonin syndrome, especially if used with serotonergic drugs ________________________________________ 💊 Mechanism of Action Methylene Blue acts by accepting electrons and donating them to reduce methemoglobin back to hemoglobin. This process restores the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. It also inhibits certain enzymes and has antimicrobial properties, which contribute to its use in treating infections. ________________________________________ ⚠️ Precautions • Drug Interactions: Avoid concurrent use with serotonergic drugs (e.g., SSRIs, SNRIs, MAO inhibitors) to prevent serotonin syndrome. • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult a healthcare provider before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. • G6PD Deficiency: Use with caution in individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, as it may cause hemolysis. • Renal Impairment: Dosage adjustments may be necessary in patients with kidney dysfunction

Methylene Blue Injection is a versatile medication with several clinical uses. It’s a synthetic dye that also functions as a medicinal agent, especially in emergency and critical care settings. ✅ Primary Medical Uses of Methylene Blue Injection Methemoglobinemia Treatment Main use: It rapidly treats methemoglobinemia, a condition where hemoglobin can’t carry oxygen effectively. Converts methemoglobin (Fe³⁺) back to normal hemoglobin (Fe²⁺), restoring oxygen delivery. Urinary Tract Antiseptic (rarely used today) Has mild antiseptic properties in the urinary tract when used with other agents. Ifosfamide-Induced Encephalopathy Used off-label to counteract neurotoxicity caused by the chemotherapy drug ifosfamide. Intraoperative Staining Agent Surgeons and urologists may use it to identify structures (e.g., fistulas, ureters, sentinel lymph nodes). Vasoplegic Syndrome in Cardiac Surgery (off-label) Helps raise blood pressure in cases of refractory hypotension after heart surgery, by inhibiting nitric oxide pathways. Diagnostic Aid Sometimes used to help visualize certain body structures or to test for leaks (like gastrointestinal perforations). ⚠️ Important Warnings & Precautions Serotonin Syndrome Risk: Methylene blue is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) — do not use with SSRIs, SNRIs, or other serotonergic drugs. G6PD Deficiency: Can cause hemolysis in people with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. Pregnancy: Generally avoided unless absolutely necessary. 💉 Side Effects Pain at the injection site Nausea, vomiting Headache, dizziness Blue or green discoloration of urine, stool, or skin (temporary and harmless) High doses: confusion, agitation, or chest pain
