Liposomal doxorubicin is a chemotherapy drug, which is administered intravenously to treat AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and other solid tumors. Doxorubicin acts by blocking an enzyme called topoisomerase 2 that cancer cells need in order to divide and grow. Liposomal delivery of doxorubicin HCL (Hydrochloride) improves drug penetration into tumors and decreases drug clearance, thereby increasing the duration of therapeutic drug effects. Some side effects of using Doxil or doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome include low blood counts, hand-to-foot syndrome (palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia), mouth sores, infusion-related side effects: shortness of breath, facial swelling, headache, back pain, flushing, tightness in the chest and throat, and/or low blood pressure.
