Glioz contains Temozolomide, an oral alkylating antineoplastic medicine primarily used in the treatment of glioblastoma and other malignant gliomas.
Temozolomide is converted under physiological conditions into an active alkylating compound that damages tumor-cell DNA. This DNA damage interferes with replication and repair mechanisms, helping inhibit the growth and survival of susceptible malignant cells.
Temozolomide is commonly incorporated into treatment protocols with radiotherapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma and may subsequently be continued as maintenance therapy.
What are Temozolomide Capsules?
Temozolomide Capsules are an oral alkylating chemotherapy medicine used for systemic treatment of certain malignant brain tumors and selected gliomas.
