Product Overview
About Busulfan Fresenius Kabi
Busulfan Fresenius Kabi is a generic medicine.
What it is used for
Busulfan Fresenius Kabi is used in adults and children as part of a ‘conditioning’ (preparative) treatment before transplantation of haematopoietic progenitor cells (the cells that make blood cells). This type of transplant is used in patients who need to replace their blood-making cells, because they have a blood disorder (such as a rare type of anaemia) or a cancer of the blood.
How it is used
Busulfan Fresenius Kabi can only be obtained with a prescription and should only be used by a doctor who has experience in treatments given before transplantation. The medicine is available as a concentrate to be made up into a solution for central intravenous infusion (drip into a central vein in the chest). The recommended dose and administration schedule vary depending on the treatment regimen.
How it works
The active substance in Busulfan Fresenius Kabi, busulfan, belongs to a group of medicines called ‘alkylating agents’. These substances are ‘cytotoxic’. This means that they kill cells, especially cells that develop rapidly, such as cancer or progenitor (‘stem’) cells (cells that make other types of cell).
