What is Vidaza?

Vidaza contains the prescription medicine azacitidine, used for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes. Myelodysplastic syndromes are a group of cancers where blood cells in the bone marrow do not mature or become healthy blood cells as they would do normally.

Vidaza is given as a subcutaneous injection under the skin or as an infusion directly into a vein. It is normally given for 7 days in a row every 4 weeks for 4 cycles of the treatment. Your doctor will decide how long you will be treated for. You will need to have regular blood and kidney tests as azacitidine can reduce blood cells that help your body fight infections and help your blood clot.

Vidaza active ingredients

Vidaza blocks the development of the tumor by changing (hypomethylation) the activity of DNA associated with the tumor, as well as having a direct toxic effect on the abnormal cells in the bone marrow.

Hypomethylation is thought to restore normal function to genes that are essential for the normal growth of blood cells in the bone marrow. The toxic effects of azacitidine cause the death of the rapidly dividing tumor cells, including those cancer cells that do not follow the normal process of growth. Normal cells that are not growing rapidly are relatively insensitive to azacitidine.

The most common side effects caused by Vidaza include:

• Redness where the injection was given
• Nausea, vomiting
• Stomach pain, loss of appetite, constipation, diarrhea
• Feeling weak, tired, or light-headed
• Joint pain in your arms or legs
