Chloramax 5Mg Tablet belongs to a class of cytotoxic drugs, also known as chemotherapeutic agents, primarily used to treat various cancer conditions such as Hodgkin's disease, certain forms of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia, advanced Ovarian adenocarcinoma and Breast cancer. Cancer is a genetic change in which the body's cells divide uncontrollably and spread into surrounding tissues.

Chloramax 5Mg Tablet contains Chlorambucil, which works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in the body. Thus, it treats cancer efficiently.

Use Chloramax 5Mg Tablet as directed by your doctor. It may cause side effects, such as a drop in the number of blood cells and platelets, feeling sick (nausea), being sick (vomiting), sores in the mouth and throat, tiredness and missed menstrual periods (in girls and women). Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if any of these side effects persist or worsen.

Many other medications can interact with or be impacted by Chloramax 5Mg Tablet, so let your doctor know all your medications. This medicine has been shown to reduce the number of blood cells, making you more susceptible to infections. During treatment with this medication, you will need to have regular blood tests to assess your blood cells, as well as your kidney, liver, and heart function.

Do not take Chloramax 5Mg Tablet if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to Chlorambucil or any of the other ingredients of this medicine. Chlorambucil may increase the risk of developing other cancers.

Cancer: Cancer is a genetic change in which the body's cells divide uncontrollably and spread into surrounding tissues. There are two types of cancer: benign (localized) and metastatic (spread to the whole body). Types of cancer include blood, lung, breast, etc. Cancer growth can be prevented by chemotherapy, radiation, and stem cell therapy.

Hodgkin's disease: Hodgkin lymphoma, commonly known as Hodgkin's disease, is a kind of cancer that affects the lymphatic system. Your lymphatic system is a component of your immune system. It aids in the defence of your body against infection and sickness. The lymph system comprises tissues and organs that generate, store, and transport white blood cells.

Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia: The most prevalent type of leukaemia in adults is chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). It is a form of cancer that begins in the bone marrow in cells that develop into specific white blood cells (called lymphocytes). Cancer (leukaemia) cells begin in the bone marrow and subsequently spread to the blood.

Waldenström macroglobulinemia: Waldenström macroglobulinemia is a rare bone marrow malignancy characterized by an excess of aberrant white blood cells. These aberrant cells resemble both B cells, which are white blood cells (lymphocytes), and plasma cells, which are more mature cells generated from B cells.

Ovarian cancer: Ovarian cancer begins in the ovaries (one of a pair of female reproductive glands in which the ova, or eggs, are formed). Advanced ovarian cancer indicates that the cancer has progressed beyond the ovary. It could have spread within the pelvis or abdomen or gone to other parts of the body, such as the lungs.

Breast Cancer: Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in breast cells. Breast cancer may form in lobules (glands that produce milk), ducts of the breast (the pathway that brings milk from glands to the nipple), the fatty tissue or the fibrous connective tissue within the breast. The tumour cells invade other healthy breast cells and can travel to lymph nodes, a primary pathway for the cancer cells to move to other body parts.
