Arsenic Trioxide Injection

Arsenic trioxide injection is a medication used in the treatment of certain types of cancer, specifically acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It is typically utilized when other treatments have not been effective.

Arsenic trioxide works by inducing programmed cell death (apoptosis) in cancer cells, helping to reduce the growth and spread of leukemia cells. It is often administered under the supervision of healthcare professionals due to its potential for serious side effects and toxicity.
