About CLADRIM 10MG INJECTION

CLADRIM 10MG INJECTION belongs to a group of anticancer medicines called purine analogue used in the treatment of hairy cell leukaemia. Leukaemia, also known as blood cancer, is a cancer of blood cells or blood-forming tissues. It causes excessive production of immature white blood cells by the bone marrow and reduces the body’s ability to fight infections. 

CLADRIM 10MG INJECTION contains Cladribine, which belongs to the class of purine antimetabolites. It works by inhibiting DNA synthesis (responsible for DNA elongation, synthesis, and repair) in cancer cells by interfering with the ribonucleotide reductase and DNA polymerase enzymes.

CLADRIM 10MG INJECTION may cause certain side effects such as insomnia, dizziness, cough, abdominal pain, rash, constipation, fatigue, vomiting, nausea, headache, cough, constipation, weakness, and pain at the site of injection. Most of these side effects of CLADRIM 10MG INJECTION do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. A trained healthcare professional will administer CLADRIM 10MG INJECTION.
