About Admatop 2.5 Injection

Admatop 2.5 Injection belongs to a group of medicines called 'anti-cancer/anti-neoplastic agents', used to treat ovarian and small cell lung cancer. On the other hand, it may use to treat advanced cervical cancer if surgery or radiotherapy treatment is not possible. It may sometimes be used to treat other cancers. Ovarian cancer begins in the ovaries (a pair of female reproductive glands in which the ova, or eggs, are formed). Small-cell lung cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the lung tissues.

Admatop 2.5 Injection contains 'Topotecan'. It works by penetrating into the cell wall and binding to the cell's DNA, stopping it from naturally dividing and functioning, ultimately destroying it. These medicines target cancer cells because they often affect rapidly dividing cells.
