Oncogem 1400mg Injection 20ml contains gemcitabine (1400 mg), which works in the following ways:

• Interferes with DNA synthesis: Gemcitabine disrupts the formation of new DNA in cancer cells, preventing them from making copies and multiplying.

• Targets the S-phase of cell Division: The medicine specifically works during the S-phase (synthesis phase) of the cell cycle, when cells are actively making new DNA. This makes it particularly effective against rapidly dividing cancer cells.

• Undergoes intracellular conversion: Once inside the body, gemcitabine is converted into its active forms called metabolites, which incorporate into DNA strands, causing chain termination and stopping further cell division.

• Triggers an immune response: After gemcitabine damages cancer cells, your body's immune system recognises these damaged cells and helps eliminate them from your body.

• Maintain adequate nutrition through small, frequent meals to help combat decreased appetite that often accompanies cancer treatment.

• Consider gentle physical activity as tolerated to help manage fatigue, which is a common side effect during chemotherapy with gemcitabine.
