Product Description
Normal, healthy cells can produce their own asparagine; however, leukemic cancer cells lack this ability and rely on the asparagine circulating in the bloodstream. Pegaspargase works by breaking down L-asparagine in the plasma, effectively starving the cancer cells and inhibiting their growth and multiplication.
The "peg" in pegaspargase refers to polyethylene glycol, which is attached to the L-asparaginase enzyme. This modification allows the medication to stay in the body for a longer period, reduces the frequency of dosing, and lowers the risk of severe allergic reactions compared to the non-pegylated form of the enzyme.

Serious Side Effects & Precautions: Potential severe side effects include serious allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, hives, swelling), liver problems, inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), and blood clots. Patients require regular blood tests to monitor blood sugar, liver function, kidney function, and coagulation profiles during treatment.
