## About Gemibine 1000 Mg Injection (Gemcitabine)

Gemibine 1000 mg Injection contains an active ingredient, Gemcitabine, which is used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, urinary bladder cancer, pancreatic cancer, and ovarian cancer. Lung cancer is the most widespread cancer in the world. Cigarette smoking causes most lung cancers. The more cigarettes you smoke &, the earlier you started smoking, the greater is the risk of lung cancer. High levels of pollution, radiation, & asbestos exposure may also increase risk. Breast cancer is cancer, which develops due to the uncontrolled growth of breast tissue cells. The breast tissue contains milk-producing glands called lobules & thin tubes called ducts. Cancer can start in either of these. Depending on where cancer starts, breast cancer is of two types: Ductal carcinoma, which develops in the cells of the lining of milk duct & Lobular carcinoma, which originates in the lobules. The pancreas is a gland behind the stomach which produces juices that help break down food & the hormones which help control blood sugar levels. Pancreatic cancer is the cancerous growth in the pancreas that usually starts in the cells that produce the juices. Urinary bladder cancer is a disease in which there is an uncontrolled growth of bladder cells, commonly the innermost lining of the bladder. Ovarian cancer is the consequence of the uncontrolled growth of cells of the ovaries in women. As the ovaries secrete hormones, ovarian cancer can lead to severe menstrual problems. This medicine is readily available with all the leading primary pharmacies, drugstores, and medical supply stores; however, this medication should be taken on doctor’s recommendation only.
