Introduction XPREZA 100MG INJECTION:

XPREZA 100MG INJECTION contains Azacitidine which belongs to the group of medicines called Anticancer agents. It 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 leukaemia (CMML) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).
