Thiother 15mg Injection

Thiother 15mg Injection belongs to the group of medicines called alkylating agents used to prepare patients for bone marrow transplantation and reduce the risk of graft rejection. It is also indicated in the treatment of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, bladder cancer, and serosal cavity neoplastic disease. It is also used to treat malignant effusions caused by cancerous tumours.

Thiother 15mg Injection contains Thiotepa, which works by destroying bone marrow cells. This enables the transplantation of new bone marrow cells (haematopoietic progenitor cells), enabling the body to produce healthy blood cells. It helps treat cancer by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in the body.
