About ELEFTHA 150MG INJECTION

  • ELEFTHA 150MG INJECTION contains the active ingredient Trastuzumab. It is used to treat certain types of breast cancer and stomach cancer (also called gastric cancer) that have high levels of a protein called HER2. In these specific cancers, the HER2 protein acts like a signal that tells the cancer cells to grow and divide very quickly. By targeting this protein, ELEFTHA 150MG INJECTION helps to slow down or stop the growth of the tumor.
  • HER2-positive breast cancer, in particular, can be quite aggressive. This medication works as a 'targeted therapy', meaning it is designed to specifically find and attach to the HER2 proteins on the cancer cells. This precise targeting helps to block the growth signals driven by HER2. Unlike some traditional cancer treatments, targeted therapies aim to minimize damage to healthy cells, although they can still have side effects.
  • ELEFTHA 150MG INJECTION is typically given as an injection, usually into a vein (intravenous infusion) by a healthcare professional. The treatment plan, including the dose and how often you receive it, will be determined by your doctor based on your specific condition. It is crucial to use effective birth control methods during your treatment with ELEFTHA 150MG INJECTION and for at least 7 months after your last dose, as it could potentially harm a developing baby.
  • There are certain situations where ELEFTHA 150MG INJECTION might not be suitable. It is generally not recommended for individuals under 18 years old. You must inform your doctor if you have severe breathing problems, require oxygen treatment, or have a history of heart issues. This is very important because the medication can sometimes affect the heart or lungs. Also, let your doctor know about any previous cancer treatments you have received and a complete list of all other medicines you are currently taking, including vitamins, supplements, and herbal products, as these can sometimes interact with the treatment. Regular monitoring, such as heart function tests, may be necessary while you are on this medication. Always follow your doctor's instructions carefully and report any new or worsening symptoms promptly.

Uses of ELEFTHA 150MG INJECTION

  • Management of advanced and metastatic breast cancer.

Pregnancy

UNSAFE

Discuss with your physician before taking this ELEFTHA 150MG INJECTION if you are pregnant or think you might be pregnant. Do not take this medicine during the pregnancy unless advised by the doctor to take as it may cause to the unborn baby.

Dosage of ELEFTHA 150MG INJECTIONArrow

  • ELEFTHA 150MG INJECTION is a medication typically given around the time you have surgery. Your healthcare team will decide whether it is best to administer it either just before your surgery begins or sometime afterwards. This injection is always given directly into a vein through a drip, which is known as an intravenous infusion. The first dose of ELEFTHA 150MG INJECTION is usually administered slowly over a period of about 90 minutes. This longer duration allows the medical staff to monitor how you tolerate the medication. For any subsequent doses you may need after the first one, the infusion time is often shortened to approximately 30 minutes, provided you tolerated the initial dose well. This ensures the medication is delivered safely and effectively under the supervision of trained medical professionals in a hospital or clinic setting.

How to store ELEFTHA 150MG INJECTION?Arrow

  • Keep ELEFTHA 150MG INJ away from the reach of children and pets.
  • Store ELEFTHA 150MG INJ in a refrigerator (2 - 8°C). Do not freeze.

Benefits of ELEFTHA 150MG INJECTIONArrow

  • HER2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2) is a protein found on the surface of many types of cells, including some cancer cells. Think of HER2 as a kind of antenna that receives signals telling the cell to grow and divide. In some cancers, the cells have too many of these HER2 proteins. This is often called "HER2-positive" cancer. When there are excessive HER2 proteins, the cancer cells receive too many growth signals, causing the cancer to grow and spread more aggressively. ELEFTHA 150MG INJECTION is a special kind of medicine called a targeted therapy. Unlike traditional chemotherapy that affects many fast-growing cells, ELEFTHA 150MG INJECTION is designed to specifically target cancer cells that have too much HER2 protein. It works by attaching directly to the HER2 receptors on the surface of these cancer cells. By binding to HER2, ELEFTHA 150MG INJECTION blocks the growth signals that the cancer cells rely on. This action helps to slow down or stop the growth of the cancer. Because it focuses on cells with high levels of HER2, it aims to be more precise in its action.

How to use ELEFTHA 150MG INJECTIONArrow

  • ELEFTHA 150MG INJECTION is a medicine that will be given to you by a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or nurse. The timing of when you receive this injection depends on your planned surgery. It might be administered either before your operation begins or sometime after the surgery is completed. The first time you receive ELEFTHA 150MG INJECTION, it is typically given slowly through a drip into your vein. This initial infusion will take about 90 minutes. Giving the first dose slowly helps your healthcare team check how your body responds to the medicine. If this first dose is well tolerated and you experience no significant issues, any future doses you require may be given more quickly, usually administered over a shorter period of about 30 minutes. Your doctor will decide the best timing and speed for each infusion based on your specific needs and how you react to the medication.
