Key Benefits
Mesna 200 mg Injection 2 ml belongs to a class of medication known as ‘chemoprotectant’ primarily used to prevent bleeding into the urine by a particular anticancer medicine known as ifosfamide (ifosfamide-induced hemorrhagic cystitis). It also reduces the risk of inflammation and bleeding in the bladder by receiving anti-cancer medication. It contains Mesna, which works by reacting chemically with the urotoxic ifosfamide (anti-cancer medicines) metabolites, resulting in their detoxification. In addition, it binds to other urotoxic metabolites and inhibits their effects on the bladder.
