doxorubicin

Doxorubicin is a chemotherapy drug used to treat various types of cancer, including breast cancer, bladder cancer, and leukemia. It works by interfering with the DNA of cancer cells, preventing them from dividing and multiplying. Doxorubicin is typically given intravenously and can cause side effects such as hair loss, nausea, and increased risk of infection. It is often used in combination with other chemotherapy drugs to increase its effectiveness.
