Asparshil 10000 IU Injection 1 contains asparaginase (10000 IU), which works on the body as follows:

• Enzymatic action: Asparaginase functions as an enzyme that specifically breaks down asparagine, an amino acid that is essential for protein synthesis in certain cancer cells.

• Selective targeting: Unlike normal healthy cells that can produce asparagine internally, many leukaemic cells depend entirely on external sources of this amino acid for survival and growth.

• Protein synthesis disruption: By depleting asparagine in the bloodstream, the medicine creates an environment where cancer cells cannot make the proteins necessary for their growth and division.

• Cell death induction: Without access to asparagine, cancer cells cannot synthesise essential proteins, which ultimately leads to their death while having minimal impact on normal cells.

• Store Asparshil 10000 IU Injection 1 at room temperature in a cool, dry place.

• Keep in original packaging until use to protect from light and moisture.

• Store away from direct heat sources.

• Keep this medicine out of sight and reach of children.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

• During leukaemia (blood cancer) treatment with Asparshil 10000 IU Injection 1, maintain proper hydration by drinking plenty of water throughout the day to support kidney function and help your body process the medicine.

• Consume a balanced, protein-rich diet with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to help maintain your strength during cancer treatment, as asparaginase (the active ingredient) affects protein metabolism in your body.
