Gemcitabine injection is a chemotherapy medication used to treat certain types of cancer, such as lung, breast, ovarian, and pancreatic cancer. It is available in a single dose glass vial containing 1 gram (1000 milligrams) of the medication in 50 mL of liquid. This form of the medication is administered intravenously (through a vein) by a healthcare professional. It works by stopping the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body. 

Gemcitabine injection is a chemotherapy drug that works by interfering with the growth and reproduction of cancer cells. It is a type of antimetabolite that disrupts the synthesis of nucleic acids, which are essential for cellular division and replication. As a result, cancer cells are unable to grow and spread, ultimately leading to their death. Gemcitabine is commonly used to treat various types of cancer, including pancreatic, lung, breast, and ovarian cancer. It may also be used in combination with other chemotherapy drugs to improve its effectiveness.
