Adriamycin (Doxorubicin)

Adriamycin, also known as Doxorubicin, is a chemotherapy medication used to treat various types of cancer, including breast cancer, leukemia, and lymphoma. It works by interfering with the cancer cells' ability to grow and divide, ultimately leading to their death. Adriamycin is often given intravenously and may have side effects such as nausea, hair loss, and a risk of heart damage. Despite these risks, it can be an effective treatment option, helping many patients achieve remission or improve their health outcomes during cancer treatment.
