Dacmed 200mg injection is an antineoplastic drug belonging to the class of alkylating agents, containing the active ingredient dacarbazine. It is used to prevent and treat metastatic malignant melanoma (skin cancer), Hodgkin’s disease (cancer that forms in the lymph system, part of the immune system).
It is often combined with cisplatin, an cytotoxic agent, to treat certain types of cancers for the treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and dacarbazine with temozolomide for the treatment of melanoma. There may be an increased risk of certain types of skin cancer (non-melanoma skin cancer) with the use of this medicine. This drug is contraindicated in pregnant women, and women of childbearing potential should use effective contraception during and for at least 6 months after treatment with the drug. It is not known whether Dacmed 200mg injection is excreted in human milk, so breastfeeding should be avoided during treatment with the drug. It should also be used with caution in patients with pre-existing liver or kidney dysfunction. You should not have a live vaccine if you are having Dacmed 200mg injection. This is because Dacmed 200mg injection may weaken your immune system and make you more likely to catch a serious infection. Consult your doctor immediately for more advice.
Dacmed 200mg injection may cause pain along the vein. If you feel pain, tell your nurse straight away so that the infusion site can be checked.

This medicine should not be used if you are allergic to dacarbazine. Before each administration you will have blood tests to check that you have enough blood cells to receive this medicine.
