Oncology

Carcinoma is something that can be fought with the use of different modalities. Chemotherapy is one useful treatment in battling cancer. NAPROD LIFE SCIENCES, in conjunction with Ambica’s endeavors, aims to reach out to those who need chemotherapeutic treatment by consistently offering excellent quality and reasonably-priced oncology products. Cancer need not be a life sentence. With the help of modern day medicines, proper physician care and family support, cancer may be beaten.


Cafonate

Calcium Folinate (Cafonate) is a pale, yellow colored solution available as 10 mg/mL solution for injection. It is used as an antidote to folic acid antagonists such as methotrexate (Alltrex). Calcium folinate is well absorbed after injection. It is postulated that in some cancers, calcium folinate enters and  ”rescues” normal cells from toxic effects of folic acid antagonists.

Alltrex

Methotrexate (Alltrex) is an anti-metabolite used in the treatment of certain neoplastic diseases and severe psoriasis. It works by inhibiting dihydrofolic acid reductase and interfering with DNA synthesis, repair, and cellular replication in rapidly proliferating cells. This is one of the latest addition in Ambica’s Oncology product range. Available as 25mg/ml (2mL per vial) solution for injection
