Pemetrex is a chemotherapy medication used in the treatment of certain types of cancer, including lung cancer (both non-small cell and small cell), mesothelioma, and certain types of metastatic cancers. It belongs to a class of drugs known as antifolate agents, which work by interfering with the production of DNA and RNA, thereby slowing the growth of cancer cells. Pemetrex is typically administered intravenously and is often used in combination with other chemotherapy drugs or treatments.
