Oxitan belongs to the platinum-based chemotherapy group and is used with other anticancer medicines in appropriate colorectal cancer treatment regimens. It is indicated for metastatic colorectal carcinoma and as adjuvant treatment for stage III colon cancer after complete surgical removal of the primary tumour. The medicine is given by intravenous infusion, with the dose and treatment schedule determined by the treating oncologist according to the selected chemotherapy protocol. Patients require medical monitoring during treatment because oxaliplatin can cause effects such as peripheral sensory neuropathy, nausea, reduced blood-cell counts, and cold sensitivity.
