Platinol

Platinol is a chemotherapy drug that contains platinum. It’s used to treat certain types of cancer, such as testicular, bladder, and ovarian cancer. Platinol works by damaging the DNA within cancer cells, which prevents them from growing and dividing. This helps to stop the spread of cancer in the body. It is usually given in a hospital setting through an IV. Like all chemotherapy, it can cause side effects, including nausea, fatigue, and kidney issues, so doctors monitor patients closely during treatment.
