Product Introduction

Aktocyte 500mg tablet contains sodium copper chlorophyllin, a water-soluble chlorophyll extract derived from white mulberry tree leaves. The active component possesses antimutagenic and antioxidant properties that help prevent genetic damage in individuals.

Clinical experience has shown efficacy in patients with pelvic cancer who develop radiotherapy-induced cystitis, a condition where pelvic radiation damages the bladder lining. The tablet facilitates faster recovery and may prevent the requirement for cystectomy in cancer patients. Development of Aktocyte was undertaken by experts from the Department of Atomic Energy and IDRS laboratories with the objective of reducing radiotherapy side effects. The product holds approval from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).
