About Cytaramax 100 Injection 1 ml
Cytaramax 100 Injection 1 ml is an anticancer medicine used in the treatment of leukemia. Leukemia, also known as blood cancer, is a cancer of blood cells or blood-forming tissues.

It works by inhibiting the DNA polymerase enzyme responsible for DNA elongation, synthesis, and repair. In general, it inhibits the production of genetic material (DNA) in the cancer cells that are essential for the growth, repair and multiplication of cells. Thus, Cytaramax 100 Injection 1 ml stops the multiplication of abnormal cells, leads to the growth of cells in an unbalanced way and causes the death of cells.
