RX mirror: this is not independent corroboration of its underlying label. Check dated-label and formulation limitations.
Renal dosing, restrictions and evidence limits
Single-agent adult ovarian cancer or small cell lung cancer: the usual dose is 1.5 mg/m2 IV over 30 minutes daily for five consecutive days, beginning a 21-day cycle. At CrCl 20-39 mL/min, reduce to 0.75 mg/m2/day. Use Cockcroft-Gault with ideal body weight. No adjustment is specified at >=40; data below 20 are insufficient for a recommendation.
This renal instruction is for single-agent IV treatment. It must not be transferred to oral topotecan or the separate cisplatin-containing cervical cancer schedule. Blood-count recovery requirements and toxicity modifications remain mandatory; this extract is not a complete chemotherapy order.
