Azacitidine for Injection (100mg lyophilized) In Pakistan

Azacitidine for Injection (100mg Lyophilized) is an injectable anticancer medicine containing azacitidine, a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor used in the treatment of certain blood cancers and bone marrow disorders. It is generally administered under the supervision of a qualified hematologist or oncologist.

Active Ingredient

• Generic Name: Azacitidine
• Strength: 100 mg
• Dosage Form: Lyophilized powder for injection
• Therapeutic Class: Antineoplastic agent
• Drug Class: Hypomethylating agent

Uses & Indications

Azacitidine may be used for the treatment of certain myeloid disorders, particularly:

• Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)
• Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML)
• Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), in selected patients and treatment settings

The appropriate use of azacitidine depends on the patient's diagnosis, disease status, age, overall health, and the treatment protocol prescribed by the specialist.

How Does Azacitidine Work?

Azacitidine works by affecting DNA and RNA metabolism in abnormal blood-forming cells. It can inhibit DNA methylation and interfere with the growth and survival of abnormal cells. This may help restore more normal blood-cell development and reduce the proliferation of malignant cells.

Dosage & Administration

Azacitidine should be prepared and administered by qualified healthcare professionals according to the prescribed oncology protocol.

The treatment schedule is individualized and may depend on:

• Type and severity of the disease
• Patient's body surface area
• Blood-cell counts
• Kidney and liver function
• Previous or concurrent treatments
• Overall health condition

Treatment commonly involves repeated cycles, with appropriate laboratory monitoring before and during therapy.

Important Precautions

Before and during treatment, healthcare professionals may monitor:

• Complete blood count
• Kidney function
• Liver function
• Electrolyte levels
• Signs of infection
• Bleeding or bruising
• Other medicines being taken

Azacitidine can cause significant reductions in blood-cell counts, which may increase the risk of infection and bleeding.

Possible side effects may include:

• Low white blood cell count
• Low red blood cell count
• Low platelet count
• Nausea and vomiting
• Constipation or diarrhea
• Fatigue
• Fever
