Bcg

BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin) is a bacterial preparation used for intravesical therapy. It is commonly associated with bladder cancer treatment and immune system modulation.

BCG is primarily used in intravesical therapy, often for bladder cancer treatment. It works by stimulating the immune system to target cancer cells. This preparation is not typically used for general infections or other conditions.

BCG may cause localized irritation, such as bladder inflammation or discomfort during urination. Some individuals might experience flu-like symptoms, including fever or fatigue, as part of the immune response.

BCG should be handled with care to avoid contamination. It is important to follow proper administration procedures to minimize the risk of infection. Consult a healthcare provider for specific guidelines.

BCG may interact with other medications that affect the immune system. It is advisable to discuss all current medications with a healthcare provider before starting BCG therapy.
