AZAFAB 100MG INJECTION is used in adults in the management of all sub-types of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS, a group of cancers associated with blood and bone marrow), and certain types of blood cancer known as chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

AZAFAB 100MG INJECTION is an anticancer medication. It works by blocking the actions of certain enzymes (DNA/RNA methyltransferase) within the cancer cells that are required for the cells to grow and multiply. It also reduces the production of new genetic material (RNA and DNA) within the cells. As a result, it manages abnormal cell division within the body, slows down the growth of cancer cells, and helps the bone marrow produce normal blood cells.
