Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Foscan is primarily used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer treatment. It works by making cancer cells sensitive to light, which is then used to destroy them. This process is often employed in cases where other treatments may not be effective. People often ask, 'What is Foscan used for?' and the answer is that it is used for targeted cancer therapy.

Side Effects

  • Foscan can cause photosensitivity, meaning the skin becomes very sensitive to light. This can lead to skin reactions when exposed to sunlight or bright lights. Other common effects may include general discomfort or mild pain at the injection site.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Foscan should be handled with care to avoid exposure to light. Patients should avoid sunlight and bright lights for a certain period after treatment. It is important to follow the healthcare provider's instructions to minimize the risk of side effects.

Avoid Interactions

  • Foscan may interact with other medications, particularly those that increase photosensitivity. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking. Alcohol and certain foods may also affect the body's response to Foscan.
