Vepesid Drug Information

Vepesid is an antineoplastic (also known as VP-16) administered either orally or intravenously. It is a cancer medicine that could be used alone or very often in combination with other chemotherapeutical drugs. The generic medicament is indicated in the management of certain types of cancer, such as small cell lung cancer, testicular cancer, glioblastoma multiforme, non-lymphocytic leukemia and lymphoma. The drug is an inhibitor of the enzyme topoisomerase II and it works by intervening in cancer cells division (preventing their DNA synthesis), thus retarding cancer cells growth and hampering their spread in the body.
