The recommended dose of temozolomide varies according to body surface area, and takes into account whether you have been previously treated with chemotherapy. Before each new cycle of treatment, your blood will be tested and your dose of temozolomide may change depending on the test results.

Temozolomide is normally taken once a day for 5 days followed by a rest period of 23 days. This 28-day cycle is repeated until treatment is complete, as assessed by your doctor.

For a specific type of newly diagnosed brain tumour called glioblastoma multiforme, temozolomide is given daily along with radiation for 42 days. 4 weeks after radiation is complete, 6 cycles of 28 days of treatment with temozolomide are started.

Temozolomide capsules should be swallowed whole, with a full glass of water at least one hour before a meal. Do not open or chew the capsules. In case of accidental contact with the capsule contents, flush the area with water.

Antinausea medications can be taken just before or after temozolomide to help reduce the risk of vomiting. If vomiting occurs after taking the medication, do not take a second dose. Contact your doctor for further instructions.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important to take Ach Temozolomide exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, check with your doctor. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one, unless your doctor tells you to do so.

Store Ach Temozolomide at room temperature, protect it from moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
