Matulane Drug Information

Matulane is anti-cancer (anti-neoplastic) drug. It is used for chemotherapy. The drug is recommended for treating Hodgkin’s disease, which is in its stage III and stage IV. The drug may be used in a combination, along with other anti-cancer agents. The generic drug is used as a part of a regimen called MOPP (that is nitrogen-mustard, vincristine, procarbazine and prednisone). The precise mode of action of the drug is not yet known. However, it is suggested that the drug induces its effects by inhibiting the synthesis of protein, DNA as well as RNA. The drug is a prescription drug. North Meds now offers Matulane at a discount.
