Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=8c79a07d-32cc-4fe7-9a74-152c169f1c4f http://www.drugbank.ca/drugs/DB09110 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesna

Mesna is an organosulfur compound used as an adjuvant in cancer chemotherapy involving cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide. No clinical drug interaction studies have been conducted with mesna. Mesna concentrates in the bladder where acrolein accumulates after administration of chemotherapy and through a Michael addition, forms a conjugate with acrolein and other urotoxic metabolites. This conjugation reaction inactivates the urotoxic compounds to harmless metabolites. The most common adverse reactions (> 10%) when MESNEX is given with ifosfamide are nausea, vomiting, constipation, leukopenia, fatigue, fever, anorexia, thrombocytopenia, anemia, granulocytopenia, diarrhea, asthenia, abdominal pain, headache, alopecia, and somnolence.
