Carnumax 100 Injection 1's

Carnumax 100 Injection is a chemotherapeutic medicine used in the treatment of brain tumors. A tumor is defined as the formation of solid mass tissue due to the abnormal growth of cells. A brain tumor is a serious condition where the cells (cancerous or non-cancerous) grow abnormally in the brain. Carnumax 100 Injection is also used in the treatment of multiple myeloma in combination with prednisone, Hodgkin’s Disease, and non-Hodgkin’s Disease in combination with other approved drugs.

Carnumax 100 Injection contains Carmustine, which belongs to the alkylating agents class. 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.

Carnumax 100 Injection may cause certain side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, headache, pale skin, dizziness, stomach upset, tiredness, loss of balance, and pain at the site of injection. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
