Idarubicin

Idarubicin is a chemotherapy drug used primarily to treat certain types of blood cancers, such as leukemia. It works by damaging the DNA in cancer cells, which prevents them from growing and dividing. This helps to slow down or stop the progression of the disease. Idarubicin is usually administered in a hospital setting and can cause side effects like feeling tired, hair loss, or increased risk of infections, but it’s an important part of cancer treatment plans. Its effectiveness depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
