Cycram 200mg Injection is given as an injection into a vein by the healthcare professional, but better if injected at the same time every day. Your doctor will decide what dose is necessary and how often you need to take it. This will depend on what you are being treated for and may change from time to time. You should take it exactly as your doctor has advised. Taking it in the wrong way or taking too much can cause very serious side effects. It may take several weeks or months for you to see or feel the benefits but do not stop taking it unless your doctor tells you to.
Cycram 200mg Injection is an anti-cancer medication. It is an alkylating agent which works by damaging the genetic material (DNA and RNA) of the cancer cells, thereby stopping their growth and multiplication. This is how it works against cancer.
It remains one of the most useful anticancer agents, and is also widely used for its immunosuppressive properties. Cyclophosphamide is inactive until it undergoes hepatic transformation to form 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide, which then breaks down to form the ultimate alkylating agent, phosphoramide mustard.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
