Benefits of Lindoshil Capsule
In Treatment of Myelodysplastic syndrome
Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) are a group of rare blood disorders characterized by abnormal development of blood cells in the bone marrow. In MDS, the bone marrow fails to produce enough healthy and fully matured blood cells, leading to low blood cell counts, which can result in anemia, infections, and bleeding problems.
Lindoshil 25mg Capsule is used to treat certain types of MDS, specifically those associated with a specific part of the chromosomes in the blood cells. It works by helping the immune system make more healthy blood cells in the bone marrow. Lindoshil 25mg Capsule helps improve the production of red blood cells, reducing the need for frequent blood transfusions and making them feel better. It is important to check-up and monitor regularly to make sure it is safe and effective.
