About Azacytin Oral 300 mg Tablet 14's

Azacytin Oral 300 mg Tablet 14's belongs to the group of anti-cancer medicines called demethylation agents indicated for continued treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia in adults who improved after chemotherapy but could not complete intensive curative therapy. Acute myeloid leukaemia is a type of cancer that forms in the blood-forming cells of the bone marrow.

Azacytin Oral 300 mg Tablet 14's contains Azacitidine, which works by interfering with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed by the body. It helps the bone marrow in the production of normal blood cells and kills abnormal cells in the bone marrow.
