It is approved for locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer; for non-small cell lung cancer in combination with cisplatin; for metastatic breast cancer in combination with paclitaxel after prior anthracycline-containing chemotherapy; and for advanced ovarian cancer in combination with carboplatin after relapse. In some countries it is also approved for bladder cancer. The originator brand is Gemzar, and gemcitabine is on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines.
Gemcitabine is given by intravenous infusion in hospital and handled under cytotoxic safe-handling procedures. It is supplied as a powder or a concentrate in vials of different strengths.
