Cytosar is used to treat cancer and certain types of leukemia, such as acute myeloid leukemia. It works by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells by affecting the DNA within the cell, preventing its division and spread throughout the body. Cytosar is given intravenously or by injection into the spinal fluid, depending on the treatment plan and under the supervision of a specialist doctor to ensure its effectiveness and closely monitor the health condition. Potential side effects include low blood cells, nausea, vomiting, mouth ulcers, or fever.
Cytosar is considered an important drug used in chemotherapy protocols to control leukemia.
