Product Introduction

Endoxan N 1gm Injection contains cyclophosphamide, a chemotherapy medicine that belongs to the alkylating agent class. It is commonly used to treat a variety of cancers, including lymphomas, leukaemias, and certain solid tumours. In addition to its role in cancer treatment, Endoxan N 1gm Injection is also prescribed for some autoimmune disorders, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, when recommended by a healthcare professional.

Endoxan N 1gm Injection works by damaging the DNA of rapidly growing cells, preventing cancer cells from multiplying and spreading. The medicine is administered under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional, with the dosage determined according to the patient's medical condition, body size, and response to treatment. Regular monitoring through blood tests and adequate hydration are important during therapy to help reduce the risk of complications and ensure safe treatment.

Like all chemotherapy medicines, Endoxan N 1gm Injection may cause side effects, including nausea, vomiting, hair loss, tiredness, and reduced immunity, which can increase the risk of infections. It should not be used in patients with a known allergy to cyclophosphamide, severe kidney or liver disease, or active infections unless advised by a doctor. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid this medicine because it may harm the unborn baby or nursing infant. Always use Endoxan N 1gm Injection exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider for safe and effective treatment.
