How PEGADRIA 50MG INJECTION Works
PEGADRIA
50MG 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.
