About Adcarb Inj - 150Mg

Adcarb Inj - 150Mg belongs to a group of anti-cancer medicines used for the treatment of ovarian cancer and small-cell lung cancer. It may sometimes be used to treat other cancers.

Small-cell lung cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the lung.

Adcarb Inj - 150Mg contains 'Carboplatin'. Carboplatin acts by penetrating the cell wall and binding to the cell's DNA, stopping the cell from naturally dividing and functioning, ultimately destroying the cell. These medicines target cancer cells because they often affect rapidly dividing cells.
