Docetero 80 mg contains docetaxel, a chemotherapy medication used in the treatment of various types of cancers. It belongs to a class of drugs known as taxanes. Docetaxel is administered by intravenous infusion under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional. This medication is typically used when other treatments have not been successful or in combination with other chemotherapy drugs for improved results.

Docetero is known for its ability to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells by disrupting their normal life cycle.

Mechanism of Action

Docetaxel works by interfering with the microtubule network inside the cells. Microtubules are essential structures that help cells divide and replicate. By stabilising these structures and preventing their breakdown, docetaxel stops the cancer cells from dividing and leads to their eventual death.

This targeted interference in cell division makes docetaxel effective against rapidly growing cancer cells.
