Daunoblastina, commonly known as daunorubicin, is an anthracycline antibiotic with antitumor properties. Basically it's a chemotherapy drug. The medication plays an important role in the management of specific types of cancers. Like Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Kaposi's sarcoma.
This injection has a very strong effect when entered in the human body so it is only injected when prescribed by your medical consultant. And it is very responsive in few patients and not very responsive in few patients because of its highly responsive properties.
Daunoblastina is not suitable for the patients with serious heart problems or active infections, or those who've previously received high doses of anthracyclines should inform their doctors. Regular blood tests are necessary to assess the blood counts and liver function.
