How Arasid 500mg Injection Works?:

Arasid 500mg Injection contains cytarabine (500 mg), which works on the body in the following ways:

• Interferes with DNA synthesis: Cytarabine converts to an active form called cytarabine triphosphate inside cells, which blocks the normal process of DNA creation during cell division.
• Targets rapidly dividing cells: The medicine specifically affects cells during their S-phase of division, when DNA replication occurs most actively, making it particularly effective against cancer cells.
• Causes chain termination: By incorporating itself into growing DNA strands, cytarabine prevents successful cell division, stopping cancer cells from multiplying.
• Selective toxicity: This medicine works more effectively against leukaemic cells because they typically divide more rapidly than normal cells in your body.

Mechanism of Action of Arasid 500mg Injection:

Arasid 500mg Injection impedes the development of DNA and RNA of the cancer cells by subbing their structure blocks. It keeps the cancer cells from developing and duplicating.
