Cisplatin is one of the true workhorses of oncology — a platinum-based alkylating agent that's been a chemotherapy backbone for decades and remains a first-line or combination-therapy component across an unusually wide range of solid tumors, which is exactly why it's consistently one of the highest-volume, most consistently reordered products in our entire chemotherapy catalogue rather than a niche or specialty item.

• Approved indications: Testicular tumors, ovarian tumors, bladder cancer, lung cancer, cervical cancer, head and neck epithelial tumors
• Mechanism: Binds directly to cancer-cell DNA, preventing replication and triggering cell death — used as monotherapy or, more commonly, combined with radiotherapy or other chemotherapy agents
• Combination role: Frequently forms the platinum backbone of multi-drug chemotherapy regimens across the cancer types it treats
• Order pattern: High-frequency, recurring reorder item given its role as a chemotherapy backbone across multiple standard treatment protocols

• Nephrotoxicity: Significant kidney-toxicity risk requiring aggressive IV hydration protocol before, during, and after administration — patients are typically advised to drink substantial water for 24 hours post-infusion
• Ototoxicity: Hearing damage is a recognized risk, particularly with cumulative dosing — baseline and periodic hearing assessment recommended
• Peripheral neuropathy: Numbness, tingling, or burning sensation in hands and feet is a common side effect requiring dose adjustment if severe
• Myelosuppression: Regular blood count monitoring required — reductions in white cells, red cells, and platelets are expected
• Fertility: Can cause permanent infertility in men — fertility counseling recommended before starting treatment; contraception required during and for 6 months after final dose for both men and women
• Vaccination: Should not be given alongside recent live vaccines, including yellow fever
