How it Works
Vinblastine Sulphate, marketed under the brand name Cytoblastin, is a chemotherapy medication used to treat various types of cancer. It belongs to a class of drugs known as vinca alkaloids. Vinblastine works by inhibiting the formation of microtubules, which are essential for cell division. By disrupting microtubule formation, vinblastine effectively prevents cancer cells from dividing and proliferating, leading to cell death. This mechanism targets rapidly dividing cancer cells, helping to reduce the growth and spread of tumors.Side Effects
