Pharmacological action
antitumor agent . It has a cytostatic effect, which is associated with inhibition of DNA synthesis. In the cell, it is metabolized to active diphosphate and triphosphate nucleosides. Diphosphate nucleosides inhibit the action of ribonucleotide reductase, with the participation of which deoxynucleoside triphosphates necessary for DNA synthesis are formed in the cell, which leads to a decrease in their concentration in the cell. Triphosphate nucleosides actively compete for inclusion in the DNA chain, and can also be included in RNA. After the intracellular metabolites of gemcitabine are inserted into the DNA chain, one additional nucleotide is added to its growing chains, which leads to complete inhibition of further DNA synthesis and programmed cell death.

Composition
1 vial - gemcitabine (in the form of hydrochloride) - 200 mg
Dosage and administration of
Gemcitabine is administered intravenously dropwise for 30 minutes.
Before each administration of gemcitabine, it is necessary to control the number of platelets, white blood cells and granulocytes in the blood. With signs of inhibition of bone marrow function caused by the drug, it is necessary to suspend treatment or adjust the dose.

Monotherapy
The recommended dose is 1000 mg / m2 on days 1, 8 and 15 of each 28-day cycle.
Combination therapy with cisplatin
The recommended dose of the drug is 1250 mg / m2 on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle or 1000 mg / m2 on days 1, 8 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Cisplatin is administered at a dose of 70 mg / m2 on the first day of the cycle after the infusion of gemcitabine against a background of hyperhydration.
Combination therapy with carboplatin: the recommended dose is 1000 mg / m2 or 1250 mg / m2 on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle. Carboplatin is introduced from the calculation of AUC (area under the concentration-time curve) 5.0 mg / ml / min on day 1 of the cycle after gemcitabine infusion.

Monotherapy
The recommended dose is 800-1250 mg / m2 on days 1, 8 and 15 of each 28-day cycle.
Combined therapy with carboplatin

Cervical cancer (locally or metastatic)
Combination therapy with cisplatin
For locally advanced cancer with sequential chemoradiotherapy (neoadadovant) and for metastatic cancer, cisplatin is administered at a dose of 70 mg / m2 after 1 day of hemodization against the background.

To detect non-hematologic toxicity, regular examination of the patient should be performed and liver and kidney function should be monitored. Depending on the degree of toxicity, the dose can be reduced stepwise during each cycle or with the start of a new cycle. The introduction of the drug should be delayed until, in the opinion of the doctor, toxicity is resolved.
