L-Aspase Injection (Asparaginase)
L-Aspase Injection contains Asparaginase, an enzyme-based chemotherapy medication primarily used in the treatment of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). It works by depleting asparagine, an amino acid essential for the growth of leukemia cells, thereby inhibiting their proliferation.
Asparaginase is an enzyme that breaks down asparagine. Unlike normal cells, ALL cells are unable to make their own asparagine. So asparaginase stops the cancer cells from dividing and growing.
Allergic Reactions: Inform your doctor if you have a history of allergies to asparaginase or similar medications.
Pancreatitis: Report any severe abdominal pain, as this medication may cause pancreatitis.
