It may be prescribed when other treatments are ineffective or as part of combination therapy. Patients often ask, 'what is irinotecan used for' in the context of metastatic or advanced disease.

This medication works by interfering with cancer cell growth and replication. Common effects include temporary changes in blood cell counts, which may require monitoring. Some patients experience fatigue or digestive discomfort during treatment cycles.

Handle with care; avoid contact with skin or mucous membranes. Use only as directed by a healthcare provider. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should discuss risks before use. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
