Cisplatino belongs to a group of medications called cytostatics, which are used in the treatment of cancer. Cisplatino may be used alone, but it is commonly used in combination with other cytostatics.

Cisplatino is able to destroy the cells in your body that may cause certain types of cancer (testicular tumor, ovarian tumor, bladder tumor, epidermoid carcinoma of the head and neck, lung cancer, and cervical cancer in combination with radiation therapy).

Your doctor will provide you with more information.

Do not use Cisplatino Pharmacia:

• if you are allergic to cisplatin or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
• if you are allergic to any other medicine that contains platinum;
• if you have kidney problems (renal insufficiency);
• if you are dehydrated;
• if you have severe bone marrow suppression, which can cause symptoms such as extreme fatigue, easy bleeding or bruising, and the appearance of petechiae, and infections;
• if you have hearing problems;
• if you have nerve problems caused by cisplatin;
• if you are breastfeeding (see the section "Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility");
• in combination with certain types of vaccines, such as the yellow fever vaccine and phenytoin (a medicine used to prevent seizures) (see the section "Taking Cisplatino Pharmacia with other medicines").

Warnings and Precautions:

Consult your doctor or pharmacist or nurse before starting to use Cisplatino Pharmacia.

• If you have high levels of uric acid or proteins in your blood, which can be seen in blood tests.
• If you have nerve damage (tingling and numbness in hands and feet) not caused by cisplatin.
• If you have received radiation therapy to the head.
• If you have an infection.
• If you want to have children (see the section "Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility"). You should use an effective contraceptive method for at least 6 months after treatment with cisplatin.

Inform your doctor, even if any of the circumstances mentioned above have occurred at any time..

Monitoring before and during treatment:
Your doctor should perform tests to determine the levels of calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium in your blood, as well as to check your blood count, liver and kidney function, and neurological function. The tests can be done once a week during the entire duration of your treatment.

Your hearing will be tested before each treatment with Cisplatino Pharmacia.There have been reports of late-onset hearing loss in the pediatric population. Long-term follow-up is recommended in this population.

During treatment:

In case of cisplatin spillage, the contaminated skin should be washed immediately with water and soap. If cisplatin is injected outside the blood vessels, administration should be stopped immediately. Cisplatin on the skin can cause tissue damage (cellulitis, fibrosis, and necrosis).

Taking Cisplatino Pharmacia with other medicines:

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have used recently, or may need to use any other medicine.

Be aware that these instructions may also apply to medicines that have been used before or may be used in the future.

• The use of medicines that inhibit bone marrow function or radiation can increase the adverse effects of cisplatin on the bone marrow.
• The toxicity of bleomycin and methotrexate (other cancer medicines) may increase when administered with or after cisplatin, as it may potentially reduce renal elimination caused by cisplatin nephrotoxicity.
• Antihypertensive medicines (furosemide, hydralazine, diazoxide, or propranolol) may increase the toxic effect of cisplatin on the kidneys.
• Cisplatin toxicity may severely affect the kidneys when administered with medicines that can cause adverse effects on the kidneys, such as those used to prevent or treat certain infections (cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, and/or antifungals: amphotericin B) and contrast media (used in medical imaging).
• Cisplatin toxicity may also affect hearing when administered with aminoglycosides.
• If you take medicines to treat gout during your treatment with cisplatin, you may need to adjust the dose of these medicines (e.g., allopurinol, colchicine, probenecid, and/or sulfinpyrazone), as cisplatin can cause an increase in uric acid in the blood.
• The administration of diuretics (e.g., furosemide) in combination with cisplatin (when the cisplatin dose is not greater than 60 mg/m2, and the urine output is not less than 1,000 ml per 24 hours) may produce toxic effects on the kidneys and ears.
• The first signs of hearing problems (such as dizziness and tinnitus) may be masked if, during treatment with cisplatin, you are given medicines to treat hypersensitivity, nausea, or mental problems (antihistamines such as buclizine, cyclizine, loxapine, meclozine, phenothiazines, thioxanthenes, and/or trimethobenzamides).
• Cisplatin in combination with ifosfamide may cause ear damage, increased protein loss from your body, and increased kidney toxicity.
• The administration of pyridoxine and altretamine may reduce the response to cisplatin treatment.
• Cisplatin in combination with bleomycin and vinblastine may cause pallor or blue discoloration of the fingers of the hands and/or feet (Raynaud's phenomenon).
• The administration of cisplatin for treatment with paclitaxel or in combination with docetaxel may cause severe nerve damage.
• It is recommended to regularly control lithium levels, as a reduction in lithium levels in the blood has been observed after treatment with cisplatin combined with bleomycin and etoposide.
• Cisplatin reduces the amount of certain medicines used to treat epilepsy (such as phenytoin) in the blood, thereby reducing the effect of these medicines in the treatment of epilepsy.
• Penicillamine may reduce the effectiveness of Cisplatino Pharmacia.
• Cisplatin may have a negative impact on the effectiveness of anticoagulant medicines (such as warfarin). Therefore, it is recommended to increase the frequency of coagulation control during combined use of these medicines.
• Cisplatin in combination with cyclosporine may cause immunosuppression with a risk of proliferation of white blood cells (lymphocytes).
• You should not receive live virus vaccines (including the yellow fever vaccine). When you are undergoing this treatment or in the three months after completing a treatment with cisplatin.

Preparation and handling of the product

Single-use only.

Consult local guidelines for cytotoxics.

As with all antineoplastic products, caution is required in the processing of cisplatino. Dilution should be carried out in aseptic conditions in a protective box and should be performed by trained personnel in a designated area. If no protective box is available, the equipment should be supplemented with a mask and protective gloves. Extreme caution should be taken to avoid contact with the skin and mucous membranes. In the event of skin contact, wash with water and soap immediately. In cases of cutaneous contact, tingling, burns, and redness have been observed. In the event of contact with mucous membranes, they should be rinsed with abundant water. After inhalation, dyspnea, chest pain, throat irritation, and nausea have been reported.

In the event of cisplatino spillage, operators should use gloves and clean the spilled material with a sponge in the designated area. Rinse the area twice with water. Introduce all solutions and sponges into a plastic bag and seal it.

Pregnant women should avoid contact with cytostatics.

Organic waste and vomit should be disposed of carefully.

If the solution is turbid or a deposit that does not dissolve is observed, the vial should be discarded.

Damaged vials should be considered and treated with the same precautions as contaminated waste.Contaminated waste should be disposed of in specific containers for this purpose. See section “Disposal”.

Preparation for intravenous administration

Take the required amount of solution from the vial and dilute it with at least 1 liter of the following solutions:

• sodium chloride 9 mg/ml (0.9%);
• mix of sodium chloride 9 mg/ml (0.9%)/glucose 50 mg/ml (5%) (1:1), (resulting final concentrations: sodium chloride 4.5 mg/ml (0.45%), glucose 25 mg/ml (2.5%));
• sodium chloride 9 mg/ml (0.9%) and mannitol 18.75 mg/ml (1.875%) for injection;
• sodium chloride 4.5 mg/ml (0.45%), glucose 25 mg/ml (2.5%), and mannitol 18.75 mg/ml (1.875%), for injection.

Always inspect the injection before use. Only clear and particle-free solutions should be administered.

Do not place it in contact with aluminum-containing injection materials.
