Quick answer: Blasvin 10mg (vinblastine) is a vinca alkaloid chemotherapy used for Hodgkin lymphoma, other lymphomas, testicular cancer, Kaposi sarcoma and Langerhans cell histiocytosis. A nurse gives it into a vein only, at a hospital or day-care unit. MedHub supplies it on prescription and delivers it in a cold-chain box across Pakistan.

For patients and families

What is Blasvin 10mg?

Blasvin 10mg is a 10ml vial of vinblastine solution made in Pakistan by Pharmasol. Vinblastine was first taken from the Madagascar periwinkle plant. It binds to tiny structures inside cells called microtubules, which a cell needs to split in two. When they cannot form properly, cancer cells stop dividing and die.

What is it used for?

Oncologists use vinblastine, usually with other medicines, for:

• Hodgkin lymphoma, most often as part of the ABVD combination
• Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including mycosis fungoides, a lymphoma of the skin
• Advanced testicular cancer
• Kaposi sarcoma
• Langerhans cell histiocytosis, a rare condition seen mostly in children

Doctors sometimes also use it for choriocarcinoma or breast cancer that has not responded to other treatment. Your oncologist decides whether it suits you after reviewing your blood counts and diagnosis.

How is it given?

A nurse gives Blasvin 10mg through a drip line or cannula into a vein, usually over a few minutes. It must never be given by any other route. In the ABVD regimen, treatment days fall every two weeks. Your doctor decides the dose based on your body size and white cell count. Tell the nurse at once if you feel stinging, burning or swelling at the needle site, as the medicine can damage tissue if it leaks out of the vein.

Common side effects

• Low white cell counts, usually lowest about a week after each dose
• Constipation and stomach cramps
• Hair loss
• Pain in the jaw, bones or muscles
• Tingling or numbness in the fingers and toes

Call your care team straight away if you have a fever or chills, no bowel movement for several days with stomach pain, or pain and redness where the injection went in.

Storage

Keep the vial in the fridge at 2–8°C, in its carton to protect it from light. The hospital pharmacy normally stores and prepares it. Find out how we keep medicines cold during delivery.
