Description

Fludamax 50 mg contains Fludarabine Phosphate, a purine analog antimetabolite widely used in hematologic oncology. It is administered intravenously in hospital settings as part of chemotherapy regimens for specific blood cancers.

🔬 Mechanism of Action

Fludarabine is converted inside the body to its active metabolite (2-fluoro-ara-ATP), which interferes with DNA polymerase, ribonucleotide reductase, and DNA primase. As a result, it disrupts DNA synthesis and repair, leading to inhibition of cancer cell growth and eventual cell death.

Fludamax 50 mg is indicated for:

  • Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) in patients who have not responded to other therapies
  • Low-grade Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)
