Ribomustin Injection 1's contains Bendamustine, which belongs to the class of alkylating agents. It works by inhibiting the DNA and RNA transcription that is essential for protein synthesis. This causes shrinkage of tumor cells and thereby prevents the growth and further spread of cancerous or non-cancerous cells. This medicine is used in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and non-Hodgkin’s leukemia.

Indolent B-cell Non-Hodgkin’s Leukemia: Non-Hodgkin’s disease or Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a blood cancer that affects your lymph system. It causes the uncontrollable growth of cancer cells in the lymph nodes. The lymph system is a part of the immune system which protects your body from disease and infections. In indolent B cell Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the cancer cells grow slowly in the B lymphocytes. Symptoms include lymph node swelling, abdominal pain, chest pain, cough, fever, and night sweats.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia: It is a type of cancer that occurs in the bone marrow and blood. It increases the number of lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). The symptoms include fever, enlarged liver, bone or joint pain, shortness of breath, weakness, and bleeding from gums or bruises.
