Leucokast 50mg Injection

About

This medication is designed to support the body's immune system, particularly in conditions where white blood cell counts may be compromised. It is believed to act by stimulating the production and maturation of certain immune cells, thereby enhancing the body's natural defense mechanisms. This can be crucial in situations such as chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression, where the bone marrow's ability to produce blood cells is suppressed, leading to an increased risk of infection. By promoting the recovery of leukocyte populations, this medication aims to reduce the incidence and severity of infections, allowing patients to better tolerate ongoing treatments and improve overall clinical outcomes. Its precise mechanism involves interaction with specific cellular receptors, triggering a cascade of intracellular signals that promote cell proliferation and differentiation within the hematopoietic system.
