How It Works
Hamsyl Junior Injection is an enzyme-based medicine that works by breaking down asparagine, an amino acid that certain cancer cells need to survive. Normal cells can make their own asparagine, but cancer cells, especially in blood cancers like leukemia and Hodgkin's disease, depend on external sources. Hamsyl Junior Injection depletes asparagine in the blood, starving the cancer cells and slowing or stopping their growth.
