Gemoxen Aqua Injection 200 mg/5.26 ml contains Gemcitabine, an antineoplastic (chemotherapy) agent used in the treatment of various solid tumors. It belongs to the class of nucleoside analogs and works by interfering with cancer cell DNA synthesis, thereby inhibiting tumor growth and progression.

This injectable formulation is administered in hospital settings under strict oncologist supervision due to its cytotoxic nature.

Composition

Each vial contains:

• Gemcitabine 200 mg in 5.26 ml solution

Mechanism of Action

Gemcitabine is a pyrimidine nucleoside analog that becomes incorporated into DNA during replication. It inhibits DNA polymerase and causes premature termination of DNA strand elongation. This leads to inhibition of DNA synthesis, ultimately resulting in cancer cell death, particularly in rapidly dividing tumor cells.

• Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
• Pancreatic cancer
