FULZOS 250 MG INJ PFS

About

Fulzos 250mg Injection contains Fulvestrant, an antineoplastic medication that acts as an estrogen receptor antagonist. Estrogen, a female sex hormone, can play a role in the growth of certain breast cancers. This injection is used to treat postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer that is either locally advanced or has spread (metastasized) to other parts of the body. It can be given alone or in combination with other anti-cancer drugs to treat hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer.

You should not use Fulzos 250mg if you are allergic to fulvestrant or any of its ingredients, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have severe liver impairment. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney problems, bone conditions, bleeding disorders, or heart disease. This medication is not recommended for children or adolescents under 18 years. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Common side effects include pain or inflammation at the injection site, elevated liver enzymes, nausea, headache, cough, fatigue, joint or muscle pain, hot flashes, hair thinning, and skin rashes. Your doctor may request routine blood tests during treatment to monitor your liver function and overall response. Fulzos 250mg may increase the risk of bleeding and liver damage. Women of childbearing potential must use effective contraception during treatment and continue for at least two years after the last dose.
