卡莫司汀晶片植入物有什么副作用和注意事项？哪里能买到？

Carmustine chip implant, also known as carmustine, is an alkylating drug indicated for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed high-grade malignant glioma. Works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in the body. After the carmustine chip implant is placed in the brain, it dissolves and slowly releases carmustine into the area surrounding the tumor.

What are the side effects and precautions of carmustine chip implants?

Although carmustine chip implants have significant therapeutic effects, they also have side effects. Common side effects of newly diagnosed high-grade malignant gliomas are nausea, vomiting, brain edema, weakness, constipation, abnormal wound healing, and depression; when treating recurrent high-grade malignant gliomas, urinary tract infection, abnormal wound healing, and fever are common side effects of carmustine chip implants. During treatment, patients should note that it is contraindicated in patients who are allergic to the active substance carmustine or any excipient of GLIADEL Implant; monitor patients after epileptic seizures during administration; monitor patients for signs of increased intracranial pressure, complications from craniotomy surgery, symptoms of bacterial or chemical meningitis, and signs of obstructive hydrocephalus in patients; carmustine chip implants can cause fetal harm and are contraindicated in pregnant women.

Where can I buy carmustine chip implants?

At present, carmustine injections can be purchased through medical insurance in China, but there is no information on the inclusion of carmustine chip implants in medical insurance. Patients in need can learn about carmustine chip implants directly shipped from overseas pharmaceutical companies through Medical Companion Travel, which is more cost-effective and does not require going abroad to purchase overseas drugs, reducing the financial burden. Patients can obtain carmustine chip implants through domestic professional overseas medical service organizations (such as Medical Companion Travel) to ensure authenticity. Due to the different exchange rate floating prices, you can consult the medical companion passenger service staff for the specific carmustine chip implant price and drug purchase process.
