FOLITRAX 7.5MG INJECTION 1 ML

How FOLITRAX 7.5MG INJECTION 1 ML Works

• FOLITRAX 7.5MG INJECTION 1 ML works by inhibiting an enzyme called dihydrofolate reductase. This enzyme is crucial for cell division and growth. By blocking this enzyme, FOLITRAX 7.5MG INJECTION 1 ML effectively prevents cell division, which in turn leads to anti-inflammatory effects. This mechanism is particularly useful in managing conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis where uncontrolled cell growth and inflammation are key factors.
• In the context of cancer treatment, FOLITRAX 7.5MG INJECTION 1 ML acts as a cytotoxic agent. It prevents cancer cells from synthesizing DNA, which is essential for their replication and survival. By disrupting DNA production, FOLITRAX 7.5MG INJECTION 1 ML effectively kills cancer cells, hindering the progression of the disease. This targeted action on rapidly dividing cells makes it a valuable component in certain cancer chemotherapy regimens.
• For individuals with psoriasis, FOLITRAX 7.5MG INJECTION 1 ML helps to control the condition by slowing down the excessive production of skin cells. Psoriasis is characterized by rapid skin cell turnover, leading to the formation of thick, scaly patches. FOLITRAX 7.5MG INJECTION 1 ML reduces this overproduction and also suppresses inflammation, thereby alleviating the symptoms of psoriasis.
• In the case of rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease, FOLITRAX 7.5MG INJECTION 1 ML functions as an immunosuppressant. It works by suppressing the immune system, preventing it from mistakenly attacking the body's own cells. This helps to reduce the inflammation that causes swollen and stiff joints in rheumatoid arthritis, as well as damage to the bowel in Crohn's disease, offering relief from these debilitating autoimmune conditions.
