Dacogen is used to treat myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a group of blood disorders affecting the bone marrow. It helps by preventing the growth and spread of cancer cells.
Dacogen (Decitabine) is an anti-cancer medication used to treat certain types of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). It works by blocking the action of enzymes that help cancer cells grow and survive. Dacogen works by stopping cancer cells from reproducing, thereby preventing them from multiplying and spreading throughout the body. It is administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion and works best when used in combination with other treatments. Dacogen is a proven treatment option for MDS and has been approved by the FDA for this purpose. It can also be used off-label for other forms of cancer.
This medication can help reduce the symptoms of MDS and may even slow the progression of the disease. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and low blood counts.
