Product Introduction
Bleoace 15mg Injection contains the active ingredient Bleomycin, an antineoplastic antibiotic used in cancer treatment. It functions by inducing DNA damage in cancer cells, thereby inhibiting their growth and proliferation. Bleoace is indicated in the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, testicular cancer, and certain types of lung cancer. It may also be administered to manage malignant pleural effusion. This injection is administered by a healthcare professional in a hospital or clinical setting, either as monotherapy or in combination with other cancer treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy. The dosage and duration of treatment are determined based on the cancer type, stage, and the patient's overall health status.
Uses
Hodgkin's lymphoma Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma Testicular cancer Some types of lung cancer
How it works
Bleoace interferes with the production of DNA and RNA in cancer cells, causing breaks in their DNA strands. This prevents the cells from growing and dividing, helping to shrink tumours and control the spread of cancer.
Side Effects

Use effective contraception during and after treatment (men and women). Report any breathing issues, skin rashes, or extreme fatigue to your doctor immediately. Go for regular checkups, including blood, liver, kidney, and lung function tests as advised.
