It is indicated for the treatment of multiple cancer types including lung, breast, blood, bladder, and stomach cancers. The medication may be administered as monotherapy or in combination with other anticancer agents. Cancer develops when cells undergo uncontrolled and abnormal multiplication.

How it works
Adriplus 10mg Injection works by interfering with the DNA in cancer cells by inserting itself into the DNA strands, which disrupts the normal structure of the DNA. This causes the DNA to break apart, leading to cell death. Additionally, Adriplus 10mg Injection can also cause damage to the membranes surrounding the cell's nucleus, which further contributes to cell death.

Adriplus 10mg Injection is administered as an intravenous infusion into the vein. If this injection is recommended for you, it will be given by a healthcare professional. Do not self-administer. Your physician will choose the dosage and administration frequency based on the medical condition because it differs for each person.
