Z Pac 100 Injection 16.7ml contains Paclitaxel (100 MG). This active ingredient acts on the body through several mechanisms:

• Microtubule stabilisation: Paclitaxel binds with the protein tubulin inside cells and promotes the assembly of microtubules while preventing their disassembly. Microtubules are essential structures that help cells divide and move.

• Disruption of cell division: By stabilising microtubules and disrupting their normal balance, paclitaxel forms abnormally stable and nonfunctional microtubules. This action prevents cancer cells from successfully dividing.

• Induction of cell death: The disruption of normal cell division ultimately leads to cell death, helping manage the spread of cancer in the body.

• Store Z Pac 100 Injection 16.7ml in refrigerator or (2°C - 8°C). Do Not Freeze.

• Protect the medicine from light exposure.

• Keep it out of reach of children for safety.

• Since Z Pac 100 Injection 16.7ml is used to manage cancer, maintaining a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can help your body stay strong during treatment.
