Ifos 1gm Injection belongs to a group of medications called ‘anti-neoplastic'. It is used in the treatment of blood cancer, breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer (a type of cancer that begins in the ovaries), testicular cancer (cancer occurs in the testicles (testes), (which are located inside the scrotum, a loose bag of skin underneath the penis), and pancreatic cancer (a type of cancer that begins in the pancreas). Blood cancer begins in blood-forming tissue, such as the bone marrow or the immune system's cells. Examples of blood cancer are leukemia ( a blood cancer caused by a rise in the number of white blood cells in your body), lymphoma (cancer that begins in infection-fighting cells of the immune system, called lymphocytes), and multiple myeloma (cancer that forms in a type of white blood cell called a plasma cell).

Ifos 1gm Injection contains ‘ifosfamide’, which is an anti-cancer drug. Ifos 1gm Injection works by damaging the genetic material (DNA and RNA) of the cancer cells. This stops their growth and multiplication.
