Unicristine 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 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.
