Description

Bleomycin Injection 15 Units

Healthy Inc is a specialized global supplier and exporter of fermentation-derived antineoplastic antibiotics. We provide high-purity Bleomycin Sulphate Injection (15 USP Units), sourced from WHO–GMP certified Oncology facilities. This “Radiomimetic Specialist” is a top export to cancer institutes, urology departments, and government health ministries in Africa, LATAM, and Southeast Asia, serving as a critical component in the curative regimens for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and Testicular Cancer.


Product Overview

This formulation contains Bleomycin Sulphate, a mixture of cytotoxic glycopeptide antibiotics isolated from Streptomyces verticillus.

The “Marrow-Sparing” Specialist:

  • Mechanism (DNA Shredder): Bleomycin acts like “liquid radiation.” It binds to DNA and iron simultaneously, generating free radicals that cause single- and double-strand breaks (scission) in the DNA helix. This halts cell division in the G2 phase.
  • Marrow Sparing (Unique Advantage): Unlike almost all other chemotherapy drugs, Bleomycin has minimal toxicity to the bone marrow. It does not cause significant drops in white blood cells or platelets. This allows it to be combined with harsh drugs (like Vinblastine or Cisplatin) without increasing the risk of infection or bleeding.
  • Sclerosing Agent: When injected into the chest cavity, it irritates the lining of the lungs, causing them to stick together. This stops fluid buildup (Malignant Pleural Effusion) in late-stage lung cancer.

Manufacturing Authority

Marketed and Distributed by Healthy Inc from WHO-GMP & ISO 9001:2015 certified units.

  • Fermentation Purity: Since Bleomycin is a natural fermentation product, it contains several fractions (A2, B2). Our purification process ensures the ratio of these fractions strictly meets USP/EP monographs to guarantee consistent potency and minimize fever-inducing contaminants.
  • Low Endotoxin: Manufactured in sterile isolators to ensure endotoxin levels are well below limits, reducing the risk of “Bleomycin Fever” during injection.

Therapeutic Indications (Human Use)

Indicated for the palliative and curative treatment of:

  • Hodgkin’s Lymphoma: Core component of the ABVD regimen.
  • Testicular Carcinoma: Core component of the BEP regimen (Bleomycin, Etoposide, Cisplatin). High cure rates.
  • Squamous Cell Carcinomas: Head & Neck, Cervix, and Skin cancers.
  • Malignant Pleural Effusion: Used as an intrapleural injection for pleurodesis (sealing the lung).
  • Dermatology: Intralesional injection for recalcitrant warts.

Dosage & Administration

Recommended Dosage (Strictly as per Oncologist):

  • Route: IM, IV, SC, or Intrapleural.
  • Standard Dose: 10 to 20 Units/m² given weekly or twice weekly.
  • Test Dose (Mandatory): 1-2 Units given initially to check for anaphylaxis or hyperpyrexia (sudden high fever).
  • LIFETIME CUMULATIVE DOSE LIMIT (CRITICAL): Do not exceed 400 Units total lifetime dose. Exceeding this limit dramatically increases the risk of fatal lung fibrosis.

Safety Warnings (CRITICAL):

  • Pulmonary Fibrosis (Lung Scarring): The most dangerous side effect. Causes irreversible lung damage. Monitor patients with Chest X-Rays and lung function tests. Stop immediately if user develops a dry cough or crackles.
  • Skin Toxicity: Causes “Flagellate Erythema” (whip-like marks on the back) and hyperpigmentation.
  • Febrile Reaction: Severe fever and chills can occur 4-5 hours after injection. Pre-medicate with Acetaminophen.
