Mutamycin injection is used to treat cancer and is used to treat some malignant tumors such as stomach cancer, colon cancer, and pancreatic cancer. It works by destroying cancer cells by affecting their DNA and preventing cell division and spread in the body. This medication is given intravenously under the supervision of a specialist doctor, with the need to continuously monitor kidney, liver, and blood functions to avoid complications that may include a deficiency in blood cells, mouth infections, or respiratory disorders. It is also recommended to avoid exposure to infection during the treatment period due to weakened immunity.
Mutamycin is considered one of the effective medications used in chemotherapy protocols to limit the growth and spread of cancer cells.
