NEUZUMAB INJ 150MG VIAL

About

Neuzumab 150mg Injection contains Trastuzumab as its active ingredient and is primarily used to treat HER2-positive breast cancer. In these cases, cancer cells overproduce HER2 proteins, which promote the rapid growth and spread of tumors by acting as signals to the cancer cells. This medication is also prescribed for the treatment of metastatic gastric cancer in patients with elevated levels of HER2.

HER2-positive breast cancers are known to be more aggressive, but targeted therapies like Neuzumab work by specifically attacking the HER2 proteins, helping to block cancer cell growth and spread. Effective birth control must be used during treatment and for at least seven months after the last dose to avoid potential harm to an unborn child.

Neuzumab 150mg Injection is not recommended for individuals under the age of 18, or for those with severe respiratory issues or who require oxygen therapy. Before starting treatment, it’s important to inform your doctor if you have any heart conditions, experience shortness of breath, or have previously undergone cancer treatments. Be sure to disclose all medications you're taking, including supplements and herbal remedies, as they may interact with this treatment.
