Description

BD Zadine 300 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine containing Azacitidine, a hypomethylating agent used to treat disorders where the bone marrow does not produce healthy blood cells. It is commonly prescribed for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), and selected cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The medicine helps reduce transfusion needs, supports healthy cell production, and slows disease progression.

Benefits

  • Improves production of healthy blood cells

  • Reduces dependence on blood transfusions

  • Slows progression of bone marrow disorders

  • Enhances survival and quality of life

  • Convenient oral alternative to injectable azacitidine
