Crisvin® 2mg/2ml Injection (Vincristine) – Chemotherapy (Rx)

Quick answer: Crisvin 2mg (vincristine) is a chemotherapy injection used in treatment plans for leukaemia, lymphoma and childhood tumours. Staff give it only through a vein and never into the spine. MedHub supplies this larger 2 ml vial on prescription and delivers across Pakistan in a cold-chain box.

For patients and families

What is Crisvin 2mg?

Crisvin 2mg holds 2 mg of vincristine in 2 ml of liquid. Pharmasol makes it in Pakistan. Vincristine is a vinca alkaloid, a plant-derived chemotherapy that blocks cancer cells while they divide. The 2mg vial suits doses that need more than one vial of the smaller 1mg size.

What is it used for?

Doctors prescribe vincristine as one ingredient in a combination of medicines. It appears in plans for:

• Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: in both children and adults.
• Lymphomas: Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin types.
• Solid tumours in children: neuroblastoma, Wilms tumour and rhabdomyosarcoma.

Only your oncologist can say whether this medicine belongs in your plan.

How is it given?

Vincristine is for intravenous use only. A nurse or doctor gives it into a vein, usually as a short drip or slow injection, often once a week depending on your protocol. It must never be given into the spine, because that route can cause fatal harm. Your doctor decides the dose, which depends on your height, weight and liver function.

Common side effects

• Hard stools or constipation
• Pins and needles, or numb fingertips and toes
• Jaw or muscle aches
• Hair loss and tiredness
• Lower blood counts, which raise the chance of infection

Report a fever, severe belly pain, difficulty passing stool, difficulty walking, or any pain and swelling around the drip site to your care team straight away.

Storage

The vial needs a fridge at 2–8°C and must stay in its carton, away from light. For details on our packing, see how we keep medicines cold during delivery.
