About
Herti 440mg Injection contains Trastuzumab as its active ingredient and is primarily used to treat HER2-positive breast cancer. In these patients, cancer cells have high levels of the HER2 protein, which promotes rapid tumor growth by sending continuous signals that encourage cancer cell proliferation. Herti is also prescribed for treating metastatic gastric cancer in patients with elevated HER2 protein levels.
HER2-positive breast cancers are typically more aggressive. This medication functions as a targeted therapy, specifically attacking the HER2 proteins responsible for the growth and spread of cancer cells. Patients are advised to use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 7 months after the final dose to prevent pregnancy-related risks.
Herti 440mg Injection is not recommended for individuals under 18 years of age, or for those with severe breathing issues or who require oxygen therapy. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, shortness of breath, or previous cancer treatments. It is essential to share a complete list of all medications, supplements, and herbal products you are using to avoid potential interactions.
