1. What is Savene and what is it used for
Savene contains the active substance dexrazoxane which acts as an antidote to the group of anticancer drugs called anthracyclines.
Most anticancer drugs are administered intravenously (into a vein).
Sometimes, accidentally, it may happen that the drug is injected outside the vein, or
leaks from the vein, and comes into contact with the surrounding tissue. This episode is called
extravasation. This is a serious complication because it can cause severe damage to the tissues.
Savene is used for the treatment of anthracycline extravasations in adults. It can reduce the
amount of damage to the tissues caused by anthracycline extravasation.
2. What you need to know before using Savene
Do not use Savene:
- if you are allergic to dexrazoxane or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)
- if you are planning a pregnancy and are not using effective contraceptive measures
- if you are breastfeeding
- if you are being given the yellow fever vaccine
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or nurse before using Savene:
- Savene should only be used in case of extravasation associated with anthracycline-based chemotherapy.
- During treatment with Savene, the area where the extravasation occurred must be examined regularly and the patient must be regularly subjected to blood tests to check blood cells.
- In case of liver problems, the doctor will need to monitor liver function during therapy.
- In case of kidney problems, the doctor must perform checks to identify any signs of changes in blood cells.
Children and adolescents
Savene should not be given to children under 18 years of age.
Other medicines and Savene
Tell your doctor or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken or might take
any other medicine.
In particular, tell your doctor or nurse if you are taking or might take any of the following
medicines:
- vaccines: you should not use Savene if you are being given the yellow fever vaccine and the use of Savene should be avoided if you are taking a vaccine containing live virus particles;
- a product called DMSO (which is a cream for treating some skin diseases);
- phenytoin (a treatment for convulsions), Savene may reduce the effectiveness of this medicine;
- anticoagulants (blood thinners), it may be necessary to monitor blood levels more frequently;
- cyclosporine or tacrolimus (both used for immunosuppression and to prevent organ rejection after a transplant);
- myelosuppressive medicines (reduce the production of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets).
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility
If you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant, or are planning a pregnancy, or if you are breastfeeding
ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine.
Savene must not be used if you are pregnant.
Do not breastfeed during treatment with Savene.
If you are sexually active, it is recommended to use effective contraceptive methods to prevent
pregnancy during treatment and for six months after treatment, whether you are male or female
(see section 2 “Do not use Savene”).
Information about the effect of Savene on fertility is limited; if you have any doubts, talk to your
doctor.
Driving and operating machinery
Dizziness, fatigue and sudden fainting have been observed in a small number of patients
treated with Savene. Treatment is considered to have a limited effect on the ability to drive
vehicles and operate machinery.
Savene contains potassium and sodium
Savene solvent contains 98 mg of potassium per 500 ml vial, which may be harmful to
people who are on a low potassium diet or who have kidney problems. If you are at risk due to high levels of potassium in the blood, your doctor will monitor these levels.
Savene solvent also contains 1.61 g of sodium (the main component of common table salt)
per 500 ml vial. This amount is equivalent to 81% of the maximum recommended daily intake of sodium
in the diet of an adult.
3. How to use Savene
Savene will be administered under the supervision of a doctor experienced in the use of treatments against
cancer.
Recommended dose
The dose depends on the patient's height, weight and kidney function. The doctor must calculate
your body surface area in square meters (m²) to determine the dose you need to take. The recommended dose for adult patients (with normal kidney function) is:
Day 1: 1000 mg/m²
Day 2: 1000 mg/m²
Day 3: 500 mg/m²
The doctor may reduce your dose if you have kidney problems.
Savene is administered by infusion into a vein. The infusion lasts 1 or 2 hours.
Frequency of administration
The infusion should be given once a day for 3 consecutive days. The first infusion will be
administered as soon as possible and within the first six hours after extravasation of an anthracycline.
The Savene infusion will be administered at the same time each day of treatment.
Savene will not be used again during the next anthracycline cycle, except in the event of
another extravasation.
If you receive more Savene than you should
If you are given more Savene than intended, you will be closely monitored with particular
attention to: blood cells, possible gastro-intestinal symptoms, skin reactions and hair loss.
If Savene comes into contact with the skin, the affected area must be immediately and
thoroughly rinsed with water.
If you have any doubts about the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or nurse.
