Active Ingredient: 22-Oxovincaleukoblastine
Patients with true ITP refractory to splenectomy and short-term treatment with adrenocortical steroids may respond to vincristine but the medicinal product is not recommended as primary treatment of this disorder. Recommended weekly doses of vincristine given for 3 to 4 weeks have produced permanent remissions in some patients. If patients fail to respond after 3 to 6 doses, it is unlikely that there will be any beneficial results with additional doses.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
Intravenous
1.4 - 1.5 mg per m² of body surface area (BSA)
From 1.4 To 1.5 mg per m² of body surface area (BSA) once every 7 day(s)
The drug is administered intravenously at weekly intervals. The recommended dose is 1.4 to 1.5 mg/m² up to a maximum weekly dose of 2 mg.
