What Types of Drugs are Administered Intrathecally?
Several types of drugs can be administered intrathecally, including chemotherapeutic agents like methotrexate, cytarabine, and hydrocortisone. These drugs are chosen based on the type of cancer and its sensitivity to specific treatments. Intrathecal administration ensures that these drugs can reach the CNS in effective concentrations, which is often challenging with systemic administration.
