Description

What are ONCO BCG and what it is used for:

The BCG vaccine is an immunotherapy used for the treatment of flat urothelial cell carcinoma in situ of urinary bladder and as adjunctive therapy after the transurethral resection of the primary or relapsing superficial noninvasive papillary tumors which are limited to the bladder mucosa.

Dosage: BCG vaccine should be given intradermally. Treatment must be started 10 to 15 days after performing the TUR. The treatment schedule is a weekly repeated instillation with the medication during the initial 42 days, after an instillation in the 8’th week and 12’th week and then monthly instillations for the 4 months. The duration of maintenance treatment should be evaluated on the basis of the tumour classification and clinical diagnosis.

The common adverse effects of Onco BCG are as follows: Frequency, urgency of the micturition and dysuria usually may occur from 2nd or 3rd instillation onwards. Cystitis and granulomatous inflammatory reactions also may occur.
