How LIPODOX INJECTION Works
LIPODOX
INJECTION works by suppressing the activity of an enzyme (topoisomerase
II) involved in the DNA multiplication of the cancer cells. On the
other hand, this also forms harmful chemicals (free radicals) which
cause damage to the DNA. This slowdown the growth of cancer cells and
eventually works against them.
How to use LIPODOX INJECTION
LIPODOX
INJECTION will be administered intravenously (IV) into the vein by your
doctor or nurse. Your doctor will administer the correct dose and
duration for you depending upon your age, body weight and disease
