Infection
Onco BCG 40mg Injection contains Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) strain, a live attenuated vaccine primarily used as an immunotherapeutic agent in the treatment of superficial bladder cancer. The 40mg dosage is specifically formulated for intravesical administration, where it stimulates a localized immune response against malignant cells within the bladder mucosa. BCG works by activating the body's immune system, inducing a complex cascade of cellular and cytokine-mediated mechanisms that target and destroy cancerous cells.
