Mitoxantrone

Mitoxantrone is a chemotherapy drug used to treat certain types of cancer and multiple sclerosis. It works by interfering with the DNA inside cells, preventing their growth and multiplication. In cancer, it helps slow or stop tumor progression; in multiple sclerosis, it reduces immune system activity that damages nerve coverings. The medication is administered through a vein and is carefully monitored because it can have serious side effects, especially affecting the heart and immune system. Overall, mitoxantrone is an important treatment option aimed at controlling disease progression when appropriate.
