About

DTAXANE 120 MG INJ VIAL is an antineoplastic agent belonging to the taxane class of chemotherapy drugs. It functions by disrupting the microtubule network, which is essential for cell division and other vital cellular functions. This action leads to the inhibition of cell proliferation and ultimately induces apoptosis in rapidly dividing cancer cells. It is widely utilized in the treatment of various solid tumors, either as a single agent or in combination with other chemotherapeutic drugs. Its mechanism of action makes it effective against a broad spectrum of malignancies, providing a crucial therapeutic option for patients.
