About

Azactiv 100mg Injection is used to treat certain types of blood cancers, particularly Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) in adults across all subtypes. It may also be prescribed for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

This medication is administered by injection under medical supervision. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and treatment schedule based on your condition, which may be adjusted over time. It’s crucial to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully, as incorrect usage or overdose can lead to serious side effects. It may take weeks or months to notice improvement, so do not stop the treatment unless advised by your doctor.

Common side effects include injection site reactions (such as pain, swelling, or redness), nausea, vomiting, and weakness. Inform your doctor if any of these become bothersome or severe—there may be ways to minimize them. You should also avoid vaccinations during treatment unless your doctor approves. Regular blood tests will be necessary to monitor blood cell counts, heart, liver, and kidney function throughout your treatment.

Before starting Azactiv 100mg Injection, let your doctor know if you have liver or kidney issues, or if you're taking any other medications, including those for infections. Since this drug can interact with other treatments, sharing your full medication list is important. This medicine is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to potential risks to the baby.
