Product introduction

Cistero 50mg Injection is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of advanced ovarian and testicular cancers. It works by stopping or slowing down the growth of cancer cells in the body.

Cistero 50mg Injection is given as an injection into veins by a qualified medical professional. Your doctor will decide what dose is necessary and how often you need to take it.
