Product Description:

Cytabin Injection contains Cytarabine, an antimetabolite chemotherapy agent primarily used in the treatment of certain types of leukemia, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Cytarabine works by inhibiting DNA synthesis, particularly affecting cells that are in the S-phase of cell division. It is commonly used in combination chemotherapy regimens.
