Taxonab 100 mg Injection contains an active ingredient, Paclitaxel, which is used in the treatment of breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer.

## How Taxonab 100 Mg Injection (Paclitaxel) Works:

Taxonab 100 mg Injection has an active ingredient; Paclitaxel is an anti-cancer medicine which works by interfering with the microtubule structures which help the cancer cells to divide and multiply. Paclitaxel is a taxoid antineoplastic agent used as first-line and subsequent therapy for the treatment of advanced carcinoma of the ovary, & other various cancers including breast cancer. Paclitaxel is a new antimicrotubule agent which promotes the assembly of microtubules from tubulin dimers & stabilizes microtubules by preventing depolymerization. This stability results in the inhibition of the normal dynamic restructuring of the microtubule network that is essential for vital interphase & mitotic cellular functions. Paclitaxel also induces abnormal arrays or “bundles” of microtubules throughout the cell cycle & multiple asters of microtubules during mitosis. This slows the growth of cancer cells & eventually kills them.
