Trasturel 150mg Injection

About

Trasturel 150mg Injection contains Trastuzumab as its active ingredient and is primarily used in the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer. In patients with this condition, the cancer cells overexpress HER2 proteins, which accelerate tumor growth by sending signals that promote cancer progression. This medication is also prescribed for metastatic gastric cancer with elevated HER2 protein levels.

HER2-positive breast cancers tend to be more aggressive. Targeted therapy with Trastuzumab works by specifically blocking the HER2 proteins that drive the growth and spread of cancer. Effective contraception is advised during treatment and for at least seven months after the final dose.

Trasturel 150mg Injection is not suitable for individuals under 18 years of age or those with severe breathing issues or who require oxygen support. It’s important to inform your doctor if you have any heart conditions, experience shortness of breath, or have previously undergone cancer treatments. Also, disclose all medications, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and herbal remedies, before beginning this therapy.
