Composition

Each vial contains:

• Gemcitabine 1 gram in 26.3 ml solution

Mechanism of Action

Gemcitabine works by:

• Inhibiting DNA synthesis in rapidly dividing cells
• Incorporating into cancer cell DNA and causing termination of replication
• Blocking cell division in the S-phase of the cell cycle

Because cancer cells divide rapidly, they are more sensitive to this drug than normal cells.
