Vivitra 375mg Injection

About

Vivitra 375mg Injection is a monoclonal antibody designed as a targeted therapy for specific types of cancer. It works by binding to particular receptors, such as HER2, which are overexpressed on the surface of certain cancer cells. This binding action inhibits the growth and proliferation of these cancer cells, leading to cell cycle arrest, apoptosis (programmed cell death), and enhanced immune system recognition of the malignant cells. Vivitra offers a more precise approach to cancer treatment compared to traditional chemotherapy, often resulting in fewer systemic side effects. It is typically used in specific cancer types where biomarker testing confirms the presence of its target receptor, optimizing therapeutic efficacy and patient outcomes.
