Intaxel 100mg Injection Ingredients and Usage
Intaxel 100mg Injection contains paclitaxel, a taxane belonging to the antimicrotubule anticancer drug class. Oncologists prescribe it as first line therapy for ovarian carcinoma, usually combined with cisplatin, and as second line treatment after platinum based therapy fails.
Intaxel 100mg Injection also treats node positive breast cancer as adjuvant therapy, metastatic breast cancer, non small cell lung cancer, and AIDS related Kaposi's sarcoma. A specialist experienced in chemotherapy administration must supervise every infusion.
How Does Intaxel 100mg Injection Work?
Paclitaxel promotes the assembly of microtubules from tubulin dimers and stabilizes the resulting structure by preventing depolymerization. Microtubules normally disassemble and reassemble to allow cell division to proceed.
By locking microtubules in place, Intaxel 100mg Injection blocks the normal dynamic reorganization needed for mitosis. This arrests cancer cells during cell division and triggers cell death, slowing tumor growth across multiple cancer types.
