About Hdyshil 500Mg Capsule

Hdyshil 500Mg Capsule belongs to a group of classes known as an antimetabolite. It is an anticancer medicine used to treat head and neck cancer and sickle cell anemia (blocking the flow of blood that causes pain and organ damage). Head and neck cancer is a disease including abnormal growth of the tissues of the neck and head that may also have the ability to attack or spread to other portions of the body. Sickle cell anemia is a disease in which your body results in abnormally shaped red blood cells. The cells are shaped like a curved or sickle.

In cancer, Hdyshil 500Mg Capsule works by blocking an enzyme that is required for growing cells. This prevents the cancer cells from multiplying and growing.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Head and neck cancer: It is a disease including abnormal growth of the tissues of the neck and head that may also have the ability to attack or spread to other portions of the body. Cancer of the head and neck generally starts in the cells known as squamous cells which appear in the lining of the surface of moist mucosa in the head and neck (e.g., inside of the throat, nose, and mouth).

Sickle cell anemia: It is a disease in which your body results in abnormally shaped red blood cells. The cells are shaped like a curved or sickle.
