General information
Class/mechanism: Detoxifying agent to reduce the risk of hemorrhagic cystitis with agents such as Ifosfamide (Ifex). Mesna is rapidly metabolized to mesna disulfide (dimesna), which remains intravascular and is rapidly processed by the kidneys, where it is converted back into mesna. Mesna binds to the urotoxic metabolites of ifosfamide, acrolein and 4-hydroxy-ifosfamide, limiting the risk of hemorrhagic cystitis. It has not been shown to interfere with antitumor efficacy.[1][2]
Route: IV, PO
Extravasation: no information
