Carbokem Novo 450 MG Injection 45 ML contains carboplatin (450 mg) which has specific actions on your body:

• Damages DNA in Cancer Cells: Carboplatin works by damaging the DNA in cancer cells. DNA is essentially the 'blueprint' that guides cell growth and division. By damaging this DNA, carboplatin disrupts the cells' ability to divide and grow.

• Prevents Cancer Cell Division: Once the DNA is damaged, cancer cells lose their ability to divide further. This effectively puts a 'full stop' on their growth.

• Leads to Cancer Cell Death: With their growth arrested due to damaged DNA, these cancer cells eventually die off. This can result in the shrinkage of tumours formed by these cells.

• Store Carbokem Novo 450 MG Injection 45 ML between 15 to 25 degrees Celsius away from light.

• It is crucial to keep Carbokem Novo 450 MG Injection 45 ML out of children's reach.
