Detailed Information

Introduction

Apragem 1gm RTU Injection is a chemotherapy medication containing gemcitabine, an active ingredient used to treat several types of cancer including bladder, breast, ovarian, pancreatic, and non-small cell lung cancer. This injection works by interfering with cancer cell growth, helping to slow or stop the spread of cancer in your body. Before starting treatment with Apragem 1gm RTU, inform your doctor if you have heart disease, liver problems, kidney disease, recent radiation therapy, or recent vaccinations. Regular blood tests will be needed to monitor your blood cell counts and organ function during treatment.

Key points

  • Used to treat bladder, breast, ovarian, pancreatic, and lung cancers

Therapeutic Uses

  • Bladder cancer (used with cisplatin)

How it Works

Apragem 1gm RTU Injection contains gemcitabine, which works by blocking cancer cells' ability to replicate their DNA. Since cancer cells need to copy their DNA to divide and grow, this disruption prevents them from multiplying. Unlike healthy cells, cancer cells divide much more rapidly and are therefore more vulnerable to this medication, making it an effective treatment option for various cancer types.

How to Take

Apragem 1gm RTU Injection is administered by a healthcare professional as an intravenous infusion directly into your vein. Do not attempt to self-administer this medication. Your doctor will determine the exact dosage and frequency of administration based on your specific cancer type, overall health, kidney function, and liver function.
