Vincristine sulfate

Vincristine sulfate is a chemotherapy medication used to treat certain types of cancer, such as leukemia, lymphoma, and some solid tumors. It works by stopping cancer cells from dividing and growing, which helps to shrink tumors and control the disease. It is administered by injection and is often part of a larger treatment plan. While effective, vincristine can also affect healthy cells, leading to side effects like nerve problems, hair loss, or other issues. It is important to receive this medication under medical supervision to balance its benefits and risks.
