Introduction to Unicristin 1mg Injection
Unicristine 1mg Injection is a chemotherapy medication containing the active constituent Vincristine sulphate. This medication belongs to a class of drugs called vinca alkaloids, which inhibit the growth of cancer cells. It treats blood, head, breast, neck, kidney, bone, or lung cancers.
