Composition
Each vial contains:
-

Mechanism of Action
Gemcitabine is a pyrimidine nucleoside analog that is incorporated into DNA during replication. It inhibits DNA polymerase and causes premature termination of DNA strand elongation. This disrupts DNA synthesis and repair mechanisms, leading to apoptosis (cell death) in rapidly dividing cancer cells.
