Cytax 260 MG Injection 1 ML contains paclitaxel (260 mg) and works in the following ways:

• Promotes Microtubule Assembly: Paclitaxel helps assemble microtubules, maintaining cell shape and assisting in cell functions.

• Stabilises Tubulin Polymers: By stabilising tubulin polymers, essential components of a cell's structure, paclitaxel inhibits cell division.

• Inhibits Cell Proliferation: The stabilisation of tubulin polymers disrupts normal cell division dynamics, effectively slowing down or halting the spread of cancer cells.

• Induces Apoptosis: This medicine induces apoptosis, a process where damaged or harmful cells self-destruct, helping to control the spread of cancer.

• Store Cytax 260 MG Injection 1 ML refrigerated.

• Keep the vials in the original carton to protect from light.

• Keep it out of reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date before use.

• For managing metastatic breast cancer, adopt a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. They contain antioxidants that may help combat cancer cells.

• If you're dealing with nonsmall cell lung cancer, consider quitting smoking. This lifestyle change can enhance the effectiveness of medicines like Cytax 260 MG Injection 1 ML. Consult your doctor for guidance on smoking cessation.
