Mozifer 1 Injection

Mozifer 1 Injection belongs to the class of hemopoietic stem cell mobilizer. It is used in the treatment of Non-Hodgkin’s Disease (a blood cancer that affects your lymph system) and multiple myeloma (a type of cancer that affects the plasma cells of the bone marrow) in combination with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF).

Mozifer 1 Injection contains Plerixafor, which belongs to the hemopoietic stem cell mobilizer class or drugs. It works by binding to the chemokine receptor CXCR4 and inhibits the binding of its cognate ligand CXCL12.

Mozifer 1 Injection may cause certain side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, diarrhoea, flatulence, fatigue, and pain at the site of injection. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. A trained healthcare professional will administer it. Do not self-administer.
