Azadine 50 Injection 1's belongs to the group of medicines called anti-metabolites used in adults with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia, and acute myeloid leukaemia. These conditions affect the bone marrow and could cause problems with normal blood cell production. 
 
Azadine 50 Injection 1's contains Azacitidine, which works by preventing cancer cells from growing. It helps the bone marrow in the production of normal blood cells and kills abnormal cells in the bone marrow.
 
In some cases, Azadine 50 Injection 1's may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, weakness, headache, and injection site reactions. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. Do not be reluctant to talk with your doctor if any of the side effects persist or worsen.

Azadine 50 Injection 1's belongs to the group of medicines called anti-metabolites used to treat myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia, and acute myeloid leukaemia. Azadine 50 Injection 1's contains Azacitidine, a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor which works by preventing cancer cells from growing. It incorporates into the genetic material of the cells and interferes with the production of new DNA and RNA. This helps correct problems with the maturation and growth of young blood cells in the bone marrow, which causes myelodysplastic disorders.

Myelodysplastic syndromes: It is a group of cancers in which the immature blood cells in the bone marrow do not mature or become healthy blood cells. Signs and symptoms include shortness of breath, feeling tired or weak, pale skin, petechiae (flat, pinpoint spots under the skin caused by bleeding), and easy bleeding or bruising.

Chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia: It is a rare type of blood cancer in which there are too many monocytes (type of white blood cells) in the blood. Symptoms of chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia are tiredness, infections, bleeding or bruising easily, abdominal discomfort, weight loss, loss of appetite, sweating, skin rash, and bone and muscle pain.

Acute myeloid leukaemia: Acute myeloid leukaemia, also called acute myelogenous leukaemia or acute nonlymphocytic leukaemia, is the cancer of blood and bone marrow with excess immature white blood cells. Symptoms include fever, recurrent infections, fatigue, and easy bruising.
