Injection
Vial

Bleomycin Injection (15 IU) is a cytotoxic glycopeptide antibiotic on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. It binds to intracellular ferrous iron (Fe2+) and molecular oxygen to form an activated pseudoperoxidase complex that cleaves single- and double-stranded DNA via free radical generation, arresting cells primarily in the G2 and M phases. Unlike most antineoplastics, it causes virtually no bone marrow suppression. Indicated for curative combination chemotherapy of testicular carcinoma (BEP regimen), Hodgkin lymphoma (ABVD regimen), non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and squamous cell carcinomas of the cervix and head and neck.
