Temodar

Temodar (temozolomide) is a chemotherapy medicine used primarily to treat certain brain tumors, such as glioblastoma. It works by damaging the DNA of cancer cells, which helps stop their growth and causes them to die. Usually taken orally, Temodar is often used alongside other treatments like surgery or radiation. It can cause side effects such as fatigue, nausea, lowered blood cell counts, and increased risk of infections. Doctors prescribe Temodar carefully, balancing its cancer-fighting benefits with potential risks, and monitoring patients throughout treatment.
