Cycloxan 50 mg contains Cyclophosphamide, a chemotherapy drug used to treat various types of cancer and certain autoimmune diseases. Cyclophosphamide belongs to a class of medications called alkylating agents, which work by interfering with the growth and replication of cancer cells.

Common Uses:

• Cancer Treatment: Cycloxan 50 mg is used to treat a variety of cancers, including:
  • Lymphomas (e.g., Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma)
  • Leukemia
  • Multiple myeloma
  • Breast cancer
  • Ovarian cancer
  • Lung cancer
• Autoimmune Diseases: It is also used in lower doses to treat certain autoimmune diseases like severe rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and nephrotic syndrome, where the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues.

How It Works:

Cyclophosphamide works by alkylating the DNA in cancer cells, leading to DNA cross-linking and preventing the cells from dividing and multiplying. This eventually causes cell death, especially in rapidly dividing cells like cancer cells. It also suppresses the immune system, which is why it’s used in autoimmune diseases.
