Irinotel 100 mg Injection contains irinotecan 100 mg and is an anticancer medicine used mainly for cancer of the colon and rectum. It is supplied as a 100 mg/5 mL solution and is administered by intravenous infusion under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional. Irinotecan works by inhibiting topoisomerase I, an enzyme involved in DNA replication, which helps slow the growth of cancer cells.

Irinotecan may be used as part of chemotherapy regimens for metastatic colorectal cancer, either in combination with other medicines or according to an appropriate treatment protocol. It prevents the religation of DNA strands by interfering with the topoisomerase I-DNA complex, ultimately causing damage to rapidly dividing cancer cells. The medicine is generally given as an intravenous infusion over approximately 90 minutes, with the dose and treatment schedule determined by the oncologist. Treatment requires appropriate monitoring because irinotecan can cause significant adverse effects such as diarrhea and reduced blood-cell counts.
