1. WHAT IS THIS MEDICINE INTENDED FOR?
Onureg is indicated for continued treatment of adult patients with
acute myeloid
leukaemia )AML( who achieved first complete remission or complete
remission with
incomplete blood count recovery following intensive induction
chemotherapy and are
not able to complete intensive curative therapy.
THERAPEUTIC GROUP: Antineoplastic agent, antimetabolite, pyrimidine
analogue
HOW ONUREG WORKS
AML is a type of cancer which affects the bone marrow and can cause
problems
in producing normal blood cells. Onureg prevents cancer cells from
growing.
Azacitidine, the active substance in Onureg, alters the way by which
the cell turns
genes on and off. It also reduces the production of new genetic
material (DNA or
RNA). These effects are thought to block the growth of cancer cells in
leukaemia.
Talk to your doctor or nurse if you have any further questions about
how Onureg
works or why this medicine has been prescribed for you.
2. BEFORE USING THIS MEDICINE
DO NOT USE THIS MEDICINE IF:
You are sensitive (allergic) to azacitidine or to any of the other
ingredients of this
