Your doctor may adjust the dose of this medication so as not to harm your kidneys. Stay away from persons who are sick or have infections. Avoid activities that put you at risk of bleeding or injury. Do not receive a live vaccination, and avoid contact with anyone who has just gotten a live vaccine.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Alimta a type of chemotherapy or immunotherapy?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alimta, the brand name for pemetrexed, is a <a href=\"https:\/\/ameripharmaspecialty.com\/oral-chemotherapy-cancer-drugs\/\">chemotherapy medication<\/a> used to treat mesothelioma and non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is B12 given with Alimta?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alimta is given with vitamin B12 to reduce the chance of serious side effects. B12 reduces the chance of decreases in the bone marrow and blood cells. Bone marrow and blood cell decrease can lead to anemia, bleeding, and infection.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients are usually given a vitamin B12 injection one week before their first Alimta dosage and then every three cycles after that. Doctors also prescribe folic acid and a corticosteroid medication to help with side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Alimta chemotherapy success rate?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Phase II trial of Alimta, people treated with the Alimta+cisplatin+radiation arm achieved a two-year overall survival rate of 57.6% [5].
