HOW BIOTREXATE 500MG INJECTION WORKS

BIOTREXATE
500MG INJECTION contains Methotrexate, which is a disease-modifying
antirheumatic drug (DMARDs). It interferes with the growth of those
cells in the body that reproduce quickly. As a result, the growth of
those cells gets retarded, thus serving as an anti-tumour agent.
BIOTREXATE 500MG INJECTION decreases the undesired reactions of the
body’s own immune-defense mechanism, thereby working as an effective
immunosuppressant. In addition, it also exhibits anti-inflammatory
effects, thereby reducing pain, swelling, and redness.
