GEMCITABINE contains Gemcitabine which works by interfering with the synthesis of DNA, thereby causing cell death and arresting the uncontrolled production of new cells. Thus, GEMCITABINE is very effective in controlling cancer cells from multiplying and is used in the treatment of various types of cancers.
A qualified healthcare professional will administer GEMCITABINE. Do not self-administer. GEMCITABINE may cause certain common side effects such as nausea, hair loss, skin rash, vomiting, and oedema. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if these side effects persist.
