Asviia 3750IU/5ML Injection is a chemotherapy drug whose active constituent is Pegaspargase. It is prescribed for the treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), a type of blood cancer characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of immature white blood cells, which hinders the production of functional blood cells. When used in combination with other chemotherapy drugs, this medication can significantly improve the chances of remission and long-term survival for individuals with ALL. It has shown particular effectiveness in treating children with ALL, contributing to higher remission rates and overall survival when incorporated into their treatment regimen.

Asviia 3750IU/5ML Injection is typically employed alongside other chemotherapy agents for ALL, especially in patients who have not responded to initial treatments or have experienced a relapse. One potential side effect of Asviia 3750IU/5ML Injection administration is glucose intolerance. You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe headaches, abdominal pain, excessive thirst, or serious allergic reactions while on this medication. Patients with a history of kidney or pancreatic disease must consult their healthcare provider before commencing this treatment.

Asviia 3750IU/5ML Injection, containing Pegaspargase, functions as an enzyme that specifically breaks down the amino acid asparagine in the body. This mechanism is highly effective in treating Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) because cancer cells, particularly those found in ALL, have a metabolic vulnerability: they require an external supply of asparagine to grow and divide, as they largely lack the ability to produce their own. By depleting the circulating asparagine, Pegaspargase essentially "starves" these cancer cells of a vital nutrient, thereby slowing their growth and promoting their death. A significant advantage of this therapeutic approach is its selective action; while cancer cells are heavily dependent on exogenous asparagine, normal, healthy cells in the body can synthesize their own asparagine and are therefore less adversely affected by the enzyme. This selective targeting allows Asviia 3750IU/5ML Injection to effectively combat cancer cells while largely sparing healthy cells.
