Medicine Description platosin 10mg
Platosin 10 mg injection is a medication that contains the active ingredient cisplatin, which is a platinum-based chemotherapy drug. Its primary mechanism of action involves the formation of DNA cross-links, which disrupts the normal function and structure of the DNA in cancer cells. By binding to the DNA, cisplatin prevents the cancer cells from replicating and dividing, leading to cell death. This process is especially effective in rapidly dividing cells, such as those found in tumors. Additionally, cisplatin induces cellular apoptosis, or programmed cell death, further enhancing its cytotoxic effects against malignancies.
