General Description

[3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-oxo-1,3-oxazolidin-5-yl]methyl methylcarbamate, also known as oxaliplatin, is a platinum-based chemotherapy drug used to treat advanced colon or rectal cancer. It works by interfering with the DNA replication process in cancer cells, ultimately leading to their destruction. Oxaliplatin is administered intravenously and is often used in combination with other chemotherapy drugs. Although it can be effective in treating cancer, it also has potential side effects including numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, nausea, and fatigue. Oxaliplatin is a powerful and important tool in the fight against cancer, but should be used under the guidance of a trained medical professional.
