Priunta Trastuzumab 440 Mg Injection

Product Description

Product introduction

Priunta 440 Injection is used in the treatment of breast and stomach cancer. It works by killing the cancer cells by inhibiting HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor protein).

Priunta 440 Injection is given as an injection by a qualified medical professional. Your doctor will decide what dose is necessary and how often you need to take it. This will depend on what you are being treated for and may change from time to time. You should take it exactly as your doctor has advised. Taking it in the wrong way or taking too much can cause very serious 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.

The most common side effects of this medicine include nausea, headache, rash, insomnia, and infection. This medicine may reduce the number of blood cells (decrease red blood and white blood cells) in your blood, thereby, increasing the susceptibility to infections. Regular blood tests are required to check your blood cells along with heart, liver, and blood uric acid levels. You must have to inform your doctor if you experience breathlessness, cough, shivering, swelling of legs and arm.

Targeted HER2 Therapy for Cancer Care

Priunta Trastuzumab is specifically formulated for adult patients with metastatic and early breast cancer, as well as metastatic gastric cancer, characterized by overexpression of the HER2 protein. Its targeted mechanism offers a more personalized therapy option, aiming to impede cancer cell proliferation while minimizing harm to healthy cells.


Preparation and Safe Administration

Each vial contains 440 mg of trastuzumab lyophilized powder, reconstituted with 20 ml of bacteriostatic water for injection included in the packaging. Administration is by intravenous infusion only, ensuring the medication is delivered directly into the bloodstream for optimal efficacy. Dosing is individualized based on body weight and cancer indication, strictly under an oncologist's guidance.
