Hemazide O 200mg Tablet

Hemazide-O 200mg Tablet is a prescription anticancer medication indicated for the treatment of certain blood cancers, primarily myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). It contains Azacitidine, a chemotherapy agent belonging to the class of anti-metabolites. Azacitidine functions by altering the way cancer cells grow and divide, assisting in the control of abnormal cell growth in the bone marrow. This tablet is used when injection formulations are not appropriate or as part of a long-term treatment plan for blood cancer management. Treatment with Hemazide-O should always be directed by a cancer specialist or haematologist experienced in chemotherapy care.

Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) – a group of disorders caused by poorly formed or dysfunctional blood cells. Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) – a type of cancer that starts in the bone marrow and leads to the rapid growth of abnormal white blood cells. Other related bone marrow disorders as prescribed by your oncologist.

Azacitidine helps treat blood cancer by correcting how genes work inside cells. In cancer, some genes that normally control cell growth get turned off. Azacitidine helps switch these important genes back on, allowing the body to make healthier blood cells and slowing down the growth of cancer cells.
