Description
Endoxan ( Clyclophosphamide) is a drug used to treat various cancerous diseases (breast and ovarian cancers, and leukaemia), disorders of the immune system (such as systemic lupus erythematosus and vasculitis). It is also used to prevent transplant rejection in some instances. In India, ‘Endoxan’ is manufactured by Zydus Cadila Healthcare. It is available in dosages of 200 mg, 500 mg, 1 gm & 2 gm.
It is a type of drug known as a cytotoxic agent. It works by killing rapidly dividing cells, which make it particularly useful in the treatment of certain cancers and disorders of the immune system. Unfortunately, Endoxan can also target normal rapidly dividing cells in the body, which can result in unwanted side effects such as nausea and vomiting, and hair loss.
