Pemmet 100 MG Injection 1 contains pemetrexed (100 mg) which works on the body as follows:

• Blocks Enzymes: Pemetrexed inhibits the activity of several enzymes that are crucial for the synthesis of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA and RNA.

• Halts Cell Growth: By inhibiting these enzymes such as thymidylate synthase, dihydrofolate reductase, and glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase, pemetrexed disrupts cell growth and proliferation, thereby managing the spread of cancer cells.

• Induces Cell Death: Through its action mechanisms, pemetrexed ultimately leads to the death of cancer cells, thereby helping manage cancer in the body.
