Abstract: (5358 Views)
Doxorubicin, used in pediatric chemotherapy regimens, has cardiotoxic effects. Dexrazoxane is co-administrated with doxorubicin to prevent its cardiotoxicity. Here we have explored some alternative food or drugs to be used in absence of dexrazoxane since it’s not readily available in Iran at this time.
Keywords: Pediatric, chemotherapy, doxorubicin, cardiotoxicity, dexrazoxane, Iran.
