Hydrochlorothiazide

What Is This Drug?

Hydrazine sulfate is a chemical compound that has been explored as a treatment for certain cancers, including Hodgkin’s disease, neuroblastoma, colorectal cancer, and metastatic breast cancer. It has also been used to help manage cancer-related loss of appetite and severe weight loss (cachexia).

However, it is important to know that hydrazine sulfate is not considered safe or approved for cancer treatment in many countries due to safety concerns and lack of strong clinical evidence.

How It Works

Hydrazine sulfate is a salt formed from hydrazine and sulfuric acid.
Although its exact mechanism is not fully understood, it is believed to:

• Reduce gluconeogenesis (the body’s production of glucose)

• Potentially help slow down extreme energy use in cancer patients

• Possibly reduce severe weight loss and wasting

Research is limited, and its effects are not well established.
