Introduction to Anemiax S100 Suspension

Anemiax S100 Suspension is an anticancer medication containing the active ingredient as Hydroxyurea. It is used to treat chronic myeloid leukaemia (cancer of white blood cells) and polycythemia vera (cancer of red blood cells). The benefits of this medication include treating cancer by slowing down the growth and division of cancer cells and treating sickle cell anaemia by reducing the frequency and severity of painful episodes and preventing organ damage. It is used to treat cervical, ovarian, and melanoma (skin cancer) and head and neck cancer. Cancer is a disorder in which cells multiply in an uncontrolled and abnormal manner.

It is used to treat sickle cell anaemia (an inherited blood disease in which healthy red blood cells are insufficient). This medication may be used to treat other conditions not mentioned here. You need to talk to your physician if you have any blood disorders, severe anaemia, kidney disorders, liver disorders, gout, leg ulcers, folic acid deficiency, or have an intolerance to some sugars before taking Anemiax S100 Suspensions.


Uses of Anemiax S100 Suspension

Anemiax S100 Suspension is approved for the following conditions:

  • Ovarian cancer
  • Polycythemia vera
  • Chronic myeloid leukaemia
  • Cervical cancer
  • Head and neck cancer
  • Sickle cell anaemia

Therapeutic Effects of Anemiax S100 Suspension

In cancer, Anemiax S100 Suspension works by slowing down the growth and division of cancer cells, which can help to shrink tumours and prevent the spread of cancer to other parts of the body. This can lead to a reduction in the size and number of tumours, which may improve symptoms and increase survival rates. In sickle cell anaemia, this medication works by increasing the production of fetal haemoglobin, which can help to prevent the abnormal shaping of red blood cells. This can reduce the frequency and severity of painful episodes, prevent organ damage, and improve overall quality of life. It also reduces the need for blood transfusions and hospitalisations. It prevents complications such as stroke, acute chest syndrome, and pulmonary hypertension.


Interaction of Anemiax S100 Suspension with other drugs

Inform your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, nutritional or vitamin supplements, and herbal products. Certain medications may interact with Anemiax S100 Suspension and reduce its effectiveness by causing undesirable side effects.
