Detailed Information

Introduction

Tortaxel 100mg Injection is a potent anticancer medication used to treat several types of cancer, including breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, and AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma. It works by stopping cancer cells from dividing and growing uncontrollably. Your doctor may prescribe Tortaxel as a single treatment or in combination with other anticancer medicines to maximize its effectiveness. This injection must be administered by a healthcare professional and is not suitable for patients with severe liver problems, uncontrolled infections, or significantly low blood cell counts. It is essential to discuss your medical history with your doctor before starting treatment, especially if you have heart conditions or are taking other medications.
