Doxorubin-50 contains Doxorubicin Hydrochloride, a powerful anticancer medicine used in chemotherapy. It belongs to the class of anthracycline antibiotics and is commonly used to treat a wide range of cancers, including breast cancer, blood cancers, and solid tumors. It is administered intravenously under medical supervision.

Mechanism of Action:

Doxorubicin works by interfering with the DNA inside cancer cells, preventing them from dividing and growing. It intercalates between DNA strands, inhibits topoisomerase II (an enzyme required for DNA replication), and generates free radicals that damage the cell structure. This multi-pronged attack leads to the destruction of rapidly dividing cancer cells.

Doxorubin-50 is used in the treatment of various cancers, including:

• Breast cancer

• Leukemia (blood cancer)

• Lymphomas (like Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s)
