Bleocip® is a brand of bleomycin for injection marketed by Cipla.

Indications for Bleocip in India are defined by its approved pack insert and the Indian regulator. The decision to prescribe bleomycin, including schedule and monitoring, rests entirely with the treating physician.

What is Bleocip (Bleomycin)?

Bleocip contains bleomycin, a mixture of cytotoxic glycopeptide antibiotics, supplied as a sterile powder for injection. The Bleocip carton states it is for intramuscular, intravenous and subcutaneous use.

How it works, according to the label: The US label describes bleomycin as a mixture of cytotoxic glycopeptide antibiotics isolated from a strain of Streptomyces verticillus. Its cytotoxic effect is attributed to causing breaks in the DNA of cancer cells.


Indications as Listed in the Reference Label

The US prescribing information for bleomycin for injection, USP (DailyMed) lists the following. Indications in India may differ and are defined by the Indian regulator and the Bleocip pack insert.

  • Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (including mouth, tongue, tonsil, nasopharynx, oropharynx, sinus, palate, lip, buccal mucosa, gingivae, epiglottis, skin, larynx), penis, cervix and vulva
  • Lymphomas: Hodgkin’s disease and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
  • Testicular carcinoma: embryonal cell, choriocarcinoma and teratocarcinoma
  • Malignant pleural effusion (as described in the full label)

Clinical Studies and Evidence

Bleomycin is a long-established cytotoxic agent. The reference label states it should be considered a palliative treatment and that the response to bleomycin is poorer in patients with previously irradiated head and neck cancer. Summaries of its evidence base are available from the sources listed at the end of this page, including the National Cancer Institute and the MedlinePlus drug information page. Evidence is cited for information only and is not a recommendation for any patient; the approved prescribing information governs.

Who Is This Page For?

This page is written for hospital pharmacists, oncology department buyers, and pharmacies that source cytotoxic injectables. The US label recommends that bleomycin be administered under the supervision of a qualified physician experienced in cancer chemotherapy.


Possible Side Effects Reported in the Label

The US label carries a boxed warning that pulmonary fibrosis is the most severe toxicity associated with bleomycin, most often presenting as pneumonitis, with higher occurrence in elderly patients and those receiving greater than 400 units total dose. It also warns of a severe idiosyncratic reaction (hypotension, mental confusion, fever, chills and wheezing) reported in approximately 1% of lymphoma patients, and of renal or hepatic toxicity. This list is not complete; the full prescribing information governs.


Precautions

  • The label recommends administration under the supervision of a physician experienced with cancer chemotherapeutic agents, with adequate diagnostic and treatment facilities available.
  • The label notes that idiosyncratic reactions usually occur after the first or second dose and calls for careful monitoring after these doses.
  • The label states bleomycin can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.

All use should follow the approved prescribing information and the instructions of the treating physician.


Storage and Handling

Please follow the storage instructions printed on the Bleocip carton and leaflet. For reference, US labels for bleomycin for injection describe the sterile powder as stable under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C. Hospitals should follow their own cytotoxic-drug handling policies.
