• In Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), the uncontrolled proliferation of tumor cells stems from a process called transcriptional repression. This repression occurs due to hypermethylation of DNA, a chemical modification that essentially silences genes.
• Transcriptional repression involves proteins that directly or indirectly bind to DNA, thereby controlling the transcription, or copying, of specific genes or sets of genes. This control mechanism is disrupted in MDS and AML, leading to the abnormal growth of cancer cells.
• AZAFECT 100MG INJECTION works by interfering with this process. Its active form binds to both RNA and DNA, disrupting their function particularly in rapidly dividing cells. This disruption leads to a toxic effect specifically targeting and destroying cancer cells.
• By targeting the RNA and DNA of rapidly dividing cells, AZAFECT 100MG INJECTION helps to restore normal blood cell production and reduce the number of cancerous cells in the body. This mechanism of action makes it a crucial component in the treatment of MDS and AML.
• Furthermore, AZAFECT 100MG INJECTION's impact on DNA hypermethylation can reverse the silencing of genes that regulate cell growth and differentiation, potentially restoring normal cellular function and slowing disease progression.

• Only take AZAFECT 100MG INJECTION under the direct supervision and guidance of your qualified physician. Self-administration is strongly discouraged, as your physician needs to assess your condition regularly to ensure the treatment is effective and safe.
• The dosage of AZAFECT 100MG INJECTION will be precisely determined by your physician, taking into careful consideration several factors including your height, weight, overall health status, and the specific condition being treated. Adhering to the prescribed dosage is crucial for optimal therapeutic outcomes.
• AZAFECT 100MG INJECTION is administered via subcutaneous injection, meaning it is injected under the skin. The common injection sites include the outer area of your thigh, the abdomen (stomach area), or the upper arm. Your healthcare provider will instruct you on the proper injection technique or administer the injection themselves.
• It's important to maintain a consistent injection schedule as advised by your doctor to ensure a steady level of medication in your system. Do not alter the dosage or frequency of injections without consulting your physician.
