How Pemnat 100mg Injection Works:
Pemnat 100Mg Injection contains pemetrexed, which is a folate antimetabolite that works by disrupting the replication process of cancer cells. Cancer cells require certain natural substances, including folate, to synthesise DNA and RNA so they can grow and divide. This medicine acts as an impostor, blocking the specific enzymes that use folate to build genetic material. Without the necessary building blocks for DNA, the cancer cells are unable to replicate and eventually die. Because cancer cells divide much faster than most healthy cells, they are highly sensitive to this blockage, which helps limit the spread of the disease throughout your body.
