| == Correspondence with Adriamycen ==
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| I think it likely that this drug is meant to be the equivalent of the human medicine "Adriamycen" for the following reasons:
| |
|
| |
| 1. Adriamycen is one of the primary chemotherapy drugs used for breast cancer (it is also used for other cancers, including Hodgkin's Lymphoma, which is where I encountered it.
| |
|
| |
| 2. The generic name for Adriamycen is "doxorubicen" which sounds a bit like "Doloxan."
| |
|
| |
| 3. Adriamycen is one of the few chemotherapy drugs that is not clear; it has a distinctive dark red color. The Doloxan that Laura Roslin is seen getting is clearly visible as having a dark red color which is a close match to the color I remember for the Adriamycen I received.
| |
|
| |
| 4. While hair loss is associated with many chemotherapy medications, Adriamycen particularly known for causing that particular side effect. Laura Roslin became totally bald while on Doloxan.
