HOW CYTOTREX 10 TABLET WORKS

CYTOTREX
10 TABLET contains methotrexate that works by interfering 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. Also, it decreases the undesired reactions of the body’s own
immune-defense mechanism, thereby working as an effective
immunosuppressant. Additionally, it also exhibits anti-inflammatory
effects, thereby reducing pain, swelling, and redness. As a result, it
manages the symptoms associated with diseases such as rheumatoid
arthritis and psoriasis.
