Introduction to Herceptin 150mg Injection:


Herceptin 150mg Injection is used in the therapy of breast and stomach cancer. It works by killing the disease cells by repressing HER2 (human epidermal development factor receptor protein).


Herceptin 150mg Injection is given as an infusion by a certified clinical expert. Your doctor will determine what portion is necessary and how frequently you need to take it. This will depend on what you are being treated for and may change over time. You should take it exactly as your doctor has advised. Misinterpreting the dosage or taking too much can cause severe side effects. It may take several weeks or months for you to see or feel the benefits, but do not stop taking it unless your doctor tells you to.

Benefits of Herceptin 150mg Injection:


In Breast cancer:

Herceptin 150mg Injection is used to treat breast cancer when other medications have failed to show significant improvement. It helps to stop cancer growth and further spread, relieving symptoms of breast cancer such as breast lumps, abnormal discharge from the nipple, or changes in the shape or texture of the breast. This medication is administered as an infusion by a doctor or nurse. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully to get the most benefit.


In Stomach cancer:

Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, may occur in the inner lining (mucosa) of the stomach or in the walls of the stomach. These are of various types depending on the origin, affected area, and severity of the disease. Herceptin 150mg Injection helps to kill the cancer cells and also stops their further growth and spread. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully to get the most benefit.


Mechanism of action of Herceptin 150mg Injection:


Herceptin 150mg Injection is a recombinant IgG1 monoclonal antibody. It neutralizes the HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor protein) receptors responsible for the over-proliferation of cancer cells in breast cancer and stomach cancer cells. It destroys the cancer cells by blocking HER2. It also inhibits other cancer-causing downstream signaling pathways.
