Fludarabine Phosphate For Injection Application Scope

Fludarabine Phosphate is primarily used as a chemotherapy agent for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), and other hematological malignancies. It works by inhibiting DNA synthesis in cancer cells, which leads to their death and prevents further proliferation. It is also used as part of combination therapies for hematologic cancers to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes.
