Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Tabloid (Thioguanine) is a medication belonging to the purine analog class. It works by disrupting the production of nucleic acids, which hinders the growth of specific cancer cells. Tabloid is often used to help treat certain types of leukemia, a kind of blood cancer. It is mainly given to start and strengthen the initial treatment but is not recommended for long-term use. By integrating into the DNA and RNA of cancer cells, the drug causes cancer cell death and halts the progression of the disease.
Tabloid is usually taken orally by swallowing the tablets whole with a full glass of water. The dosage is tailored to each individual based on the specific type and stage of cancer being treated, often as part of a combined chemotherapy plan. It is important that Tabloid is used under the supervision of a healthcare provider experienced in cancer treatment.
Patients should strictly adhere to their prescribed dosage schedule. Regular blood tests may be necessary while taking Tabloid to assess its effects on blood cells.
The active ingredient in Tabloid is Thioguanine.
Avoid taking or using Tabloid if any of the following apply:
Thioguanine commonly reduces all blood cell types, a necessary effect for leukemia management but can lead to complications like infection or bleeding. It often causes high uric acid levels due to rapid tumor cell breakdown, which may be managed with hydration and medications like allopurinol. Other possible Thioguanine side effects include nausea, vomiting, reduced appetite, and mouth sores. Severe but rare issues like intestinal damage can occur.
Long-term use of Thioguanine can lead to serious liver damage, presenting symptoms like jaundice, abdominal swelling, and discomfort. These symptoms are more critical during extended treatments and might improve with stopping the drug. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is key to adjust treatment as necessary and prevent severe complications.
