Fludarabine
Fludarabine or fludarabine phosphate (Fludara) is a chemotherapy drug used in the treatment of hematological malignancies (cancers of blood cells such as leukemias and lymphomas). It is a purine analog, which interferes with DNA synthesis.
It is on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines, the most important medications needed in a basic health system.
Medical uses
Fludarabine is highly effective in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, producing higher response rates than alkylating agents such as chlorambucil alone. Fludarabine is used in various combinations with cyclophosphamide, mitoxantrone, dexamethasone and rituximab in the treatment of indolent non-Hodgkins lymphomas. As part of the FLAG regimen, fludarabine is used together with cytarabine and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia. Because of its immunosuppressive effects, fludarabine is also used in some conditioning regimens prior to allogeneic stem cell transplant.

by: Xiu XiuI'm ready to go,
It's creeping along.
A deep lack of guilt,
And fool's sense of love.
You can say it's nothing,
You can claim there's no-one to hide.
You could be respectable and keep it to yourself,
Cause we know that she was the best that you've had.
Yes I know, she was the best that you've had.
Greased and unclean,
A hiss laid by God.
A duped bridle hole,
And a boyhood slipping in Blood.
You can say it's nothing,
You can claim there's no-one to hide.
You could be respectable and keep it to yourself at least,
Cause we know that she was the best that you've had.
Yes I know, she was the best that you've had.
V U L T U R E - P I A N O!!
You can say it's nothing,
You can claim there's no-one to hide.
You could be respectable and keep it to yourself at least,
Cause we know that she was the best that you've had.
