Whats That
Etoposide 50 mg Capsule belongs to a class of chemotherapy drugs primarily used to treat various types of cancer. It is used to treat testicular cancer, small cell lung cancer, cancer of the blood (acute myeloid leukaemia), ovarian cancer, and tumour in the lymphatic system (Hodgkin’s lymphoma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma). Cancer is a genetic change in which our cells divide uncontrollably and spread into surrounding tissues. There are many types of cancer, including blood, lung, breast, etc.
Etoposide 50 mg Capsule contains Etoposide, which is primarily used to treat various types of cancers. It works by inhibiting an enzyme responsible for cancer cell proliferation and induces cell death (apoptosis). As a result, the growth and spread of cancer cells are stopped or slowed down.
