About CARBOPLATIN 450MG INJECTION 45ML

CARBOPLATIN 450MG INJECTION 45ML 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.

CARBOPLATIN 450MG INJECTION 45ML 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.
