AKTOCYTE has received approval from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). The development of AKTOCYTE tablets is supported by decades of scientific research at DAE. This product will be a landmark contribution towards affordable cancer care in India and the AKTOCYTE tablets will now be available in the market.
