About ELEFTHA 440MG INJECTION

  • ELEFTHA 440MG INJECTION contains the medicine Trastuzumab. It is used to treat HER2-positive breast cancer and metastatic gastric cancer (stomach cancer that has spread) when the cancer cells have high levels of the HER2 protein. HER2 is a protein that can signal cancer cells to grow and divide quickly. In HER2-positive cancers, there is too much of this protein, leading to faster tumor growth.
  • HER2-positive breast cancer is often more aggressive than other types. ELEFTHA 440MG INJECTION is a type of targeted therapy. This means it specifically targets and blocks the action of the HER2 protein on cancer cells. By blocking this signal, the medicine helps slow down or stop the growth and spread of the cancer. Because this medication can affect developing babies, it is very important to use effective birth control methods during treatment and for at least 7 months after your final dose.
  • ELEFTHA 440MG INJECTION is not usually recommended for people under 18 years old. It should also be used with caution or avoided in patients with severe breathing difficulties, those who need oxygen, or have existing heart problems. It is crucial to tell your doctor about any history of heart issues (like heart failure or rhythm problems), any past breathing problems, or if you have received other cancer treatments, especially chemotherapy or radiation. Providing a complete medical history helps your doctor determine if this treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
  • Before starting treatment with ELEFTHA 440MG INJECTION, make sure you inform your doctor about ALL the medicines you are currently taking. This includes prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products. Some medicines can interact with Trastuzumab, potentially causing side effects or affecting how well the treatment works. ELEFTHA 440MG INJECTION is given as an injection, typically into a vein. Your doctor or nurse will administer it. Regular check-ups and tests, including heart function tests, will be done during your treatment to monitor for any potential side effects and to see how well the treatment is working. Common side effects might include flu-like symptoms, fatigue, nausea, or diarrhea, but serious side effects like heart problems or breathing issues can occur, so reporting any new symptoms to your doctor immediately is vital.

Uses of ELEFTHA 440MG INJECTION

  • Breast cancer that is in an advanced stage or has spread (metastatic).
  • Gastric (stomach) cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic).

Safety Advice for ELEFTHA 440MG INJECTIONArrow

default alt

Pregnancy

UNSAFE

Discuss with your physician before taking this ELEFTHA 440MG 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 440MG INJECTIONArrow

  • Understanding how and when you receive your medication is important. ELEFTHA 440MG INJECTION is a treatment that is given directly into your bloodstream through a vein, a process known as an intravenous (IV) infusion. This medication may be scheduled by your healthcare team to be administered either before your surgical procedure or at a suitable time following your surgery, depending on your overall treatment plan and condition. The infusion is given slowly and carefully. For your very first dose of ELEFTHA 440MG INJECTION, the infusion is typically planned to take approximately 90 minutes. This longer duration helps ensure you tolerate the medication well and allows your medical team to monitor you closely. If you handle the first dose without significant issues, subsequent doses may be administered more quickly, often within about 30 minutes. Your doctor or nurse will be with you during this process and will monitor you throughout the infusion.

How to store ELEFTHA 440MG INJECTION?Arrow

  • Keep ELEFTHA 440MG INJ away from the reach of children and pets.
  • Store ELEFTHA 440MG INJ in a refrigerator (2 - 8°C). Do not freeze.

Benefits of ELEFTHA 440MG INJECTIONArrow

  • ELEFTHA 440MG INJECTION is a targeted therapy that works by specifically binding to the HER2 protein found on the surface of certain cancer cells. This selective action is key to its effectiveness against HER2-positive cancers.
  • By blocking the signals sent by the HER2 protein, ELEFTHA 440MG INJECTION stops the uncontrolled growth and division of cancer cells. This helps to slow the progression of the disease, potentially shrink tumors, and offers a more targeted approach compared to traditional chemotherapy, aiming to reduce harm to healthy cells.

How to use ELEFTHA 440MG INJECTIONArrow

  • ELEFTHA 440MG INJECTION is a medication that is given as an intravenous infusion directly into a vein. It must always be administered by a trained healthcare professional in a clinical setting, such as a hospital or clinic. The timing of the treatment may vary, and it might be given either before or after a planned surgical procedure, depending on your specific treatment plan. The first dose of ELEFTHA 440MG INJECTION is typically given slowly, infused over a period of about 90 minutes. This is done to monitor you closely for any immediate reactions and ensure that the medication is well tolerated. If the first infusion is well tolerated with no significant issues, subsequent doses may be administered more quickly, usually over approximately 30 minutes. Your doctor or nurse will determine the exact schedule and duration for your treatment. This is not a medication you administer yourself; it requires professional handling and administration to ensure safety and effectiveness.
