Cytocristin 1mg Injection is a chemotherapy medication containing the active constituent Vincristine sulphate. This medication belongs to a class of drugs called vinca alkaloids, which inhibit the growth of cancer cells. It treats blood, head, breast, neck, kidney, bone, or lung cancers. It is used in treating rhabdomyosarcoma (cancer that affects muscle tissue) and neuroblastoma (cancer that develops from immature nerve cells). It may also be used to treat multiple myeloma (cancer of plasma cells), thyroid cancer, and a blood disorder known as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Cancer is a disorder in which cells multiply in an uncontrolled and abnormal manner.

This chemotherapy medicine should not be used if you have an untreated infection or Charcot-Marie-Tooth syndrome (a disorder that causes weakness in the leg muscles).

Like all chemotherapy drugs, it can cause side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, hair loss, and fatigue.
