Pemetrexed is a chemotherapy medicine used mainly to treat non-small cell lung cancer and malignant pleural mesothelioma. It belongs to a group of medicines called antimetabolites, which interfere with the growth and spread of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes they need to make DNA and RNA.

Pemetrexed works by inhibiting several key enzymes involved in cell replication, including thymidylate synthase, dihydrofolate reductase, and glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase. By blocking these pathways, pemetrexed prevents cancer cells from multiplying and eventually leads to cell death. Because cancer cells divide more rapidly than normal cells, they are more affected by this action.

Pemetrexed is given as an intravenous infusion, usually over about 10 minutes, in a hospital or oncology clinic. It is commonly administered once every 21 days as part of a treatment cycle. It may be used alone or in combination with other chemotherapy drugs such as cisplatin, depending on the cancer type and treatment plan.

To reduce side effects, patients are required to take folic acid and vitamin B12 supplements before, during, and after treatment. These supplements significantly reduce the risk of serious side effects such as bone marrow suppression and mouth sores. Patients are also usually given a corticosteroid (such as dexamethasone) before and after treatment to reduce skin reactions.

One of the main side effects of pemetrexed is bone marrow suppression, which can lead to low white blood cell counts, increasing the risk of infection; low red blood cells, causing fatigue and shortness of breath; and low platelets, which can increase the risk of bleeding or bruising. Regular blood tests are required before each treatment cycle.

Other common side effects include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, constipation or diarrhoea, mouth sores, skin rash, and mild hair thinning. These effects are usually manageable with supportive care and tend to improve between treatment cycles.

Pemetrexed can also affect kidney function, so kidney tests are monitored closely before and during treatment. Patients are advised to stay well hydrated. In some cases, dose adjustments may be needed if kidney function is reduced.

Less commonly, pemetrexed may cause lung inflammation, which can present as shortness of breath or cough. Any new or worsening breathing symptoms should be reported immediately.

Pemetrexed can harm an unborn baby and must not be used during pregnancy. Effective contraception is required during treatment and for a period afterward. Breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment.

Patients receiving pemetrexed should avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen) around the time of treatment unless approved by their healthcare provider, as these can affect drug clearance and increase side effects.

When used under proper medical supervision, pemetrexed is an effective and well-tolerated chemotherapy medicine that helps slow cancer progression, relieve symptoms, and improve quality of life for many patients. Regular monitoring, adherence to supportive medications, and open communication with the healthcare team are essential for safe and effective treatment.
