For patients and families

What is Vinobin 50mg?

Vinobin 50mg is a 5 ml vial holding 50 mg of vinorelbine, made in Pakistan by Pharmasol. Vinorelbine comes from a semi-synthetic version of a plant compound. It interferes with the structures cancer cells need to divide, and so it slows tumour growth.

What is it used for?

Oncologists prescribe vinorelbine for two main cancers:

• Non-small cell lung cancer: on its own or together with cisplatin.
• Advanced breast cancer: when the cancer has spread or returned after earlier treatment.

Your oncologist chooses it after reviewing your scans, blood tests and earlier treatment. Lung cancer plans often include platinum medicines such as Cispatin 50mg/50ml (cisplatin).

How is it given?

A trained nurse gives the medicine through a vein, usually over 6 to 10 minutes, followed by a saline flush. It goes into the vein only and never into the spine. The team watches the drip site, because leaking liquid can irritate the skin and tissue. Treatment normally takes place at a hospital or day-care unit, and your doctor decides the dose and the schedule.

Common side effects

• Lower white blood cell counts, which raise the risk of infection
• Constipation and stomach cramps
• Nausea, tiredness and hair thinning
• Tingling or numbness in the hands and feet
• Pain or redness along the vein

Call your care team straight away if you have a fever of 38°C or higher, chills, severe constipation, chest pain, breathlessness, or swelling or pain at the drip site.
