Do not re-administer if the nadir of the leucocyte count is <2,000 cells/mm3. Intravesical Superficial bladder tumours Instill 10-40 mg 1-3 times/wk for a total of 20 doses. Prevention of recurrent bladder tumours Instill 20 mg 2 wkly or 40 mg 1-3-mthly.

Drug Mode of Action ::
Mitomycin is an antineoplastic antibiotic which is enzymatically reduced to its active metabolite w/in susceptible cells. The active metabolite appears to cause cross-linking of DNA (primarily w/ guanine and cytosine pairs). It is also active against gm+ve bacteria and some viruses.
Drug Interactions ::
Increased incidence of cardiotoxicity w/ doxorubicin. Potentially Fatal: Increased risk of intravascular haemolysis and renal failure w/ fluorouracil. Increased risk of haemolytic uraemic syndrome w/ tamoxifen. Acute pulmonary toxicity w/ vinca alkaloids (e.g. vinblastine, vinorelbine). Increased bone marrow depressant effects of aclarubicin.
