Citafine 1000 MG Injection 1 contains gemcitabine (1000 mg), which interacts with your body in the following ways:

• Nucleoside analog: Gemcitabine acts as a nucleoside analog. Simply put, it mimics a building block of DNA in the cell. This tricks the cell into incorporating it into its DNA during cell division.

• Inhibition of DNA synthesis: Once incorporated into the DNA, gemcitabine stops further DNA formation. This halt in DNA synthesis prevents the cancer cells from dividing and growing.

• Induction of cell death: By disrupting DNA synthesis and blocking cell division, gemcitabine ultimately leads to the death of these rapidly dividing cancer cells.

• Store Citafine 1000 MG Injection 1 in a cool, dry place.

• Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Ensure it is beyond the reach of children.

• If you're managing Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with Citafine 1000 MG Injection 1, consider avoiding exposure to second-hand smoke. Passive smoking could exacerbate your condition.

• For pancreatic cancer patients, try to maintain a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. This can support overall health and recovery during your management with Citafine 1000 MG Injection 1. Always consult your doctor for any dietary changes.
