Endoxan contains Cyclophosphamide, which is a chemotherapy medicine.
It belongs to the group called alkylating agents and is used in both cancer treatment and autoimmune diseases.

Mechanism 

• Cyclophosphamide changes inside the body into an active form.

• This active form attaches to DNA of cells, making cross-links.

• As a result, cancer cells and overactive immune cells cannot divide and eventually die.
