Adcist 10mg Injection

About

Adcist is a potent antineoplastic agent, typically administered intravenously, employed in the treatment of a wide array of solid tumors. Its primary mechanism of action involves interfering with the synthesis and function of DNA and RNA, leading to the formation of DNA adducts or cross-links. This disruption of genetic material replication and transcription ultimately triggers cell cycle arrest and programmed cell death (apoptosis) in rapidly dividing cancer cells. This cytotoxic effect renders Adcist effective against a broad spectrum of malignancies, making it a cornerstone in many chemotherapy protocols. The specific formulation, dosage, and administration schedule are carefully determined based on the type of cancer, the patient's overall health status, and any other concurrent treatments, often as part of a multi-drug chemotherapy regimen.
