Product DetailsArrow

About ERBITUX 100MG INJECTION

  • ERBITUX 100MG INJECTION is a powerful medicine used to fight cancer. It contains the active ingredient Cetuximab, which belongs to a group of medicines called monoclonal antibodies. Think of it as a targeted therapy that works by blocking certain signals that cancer cells need to grow and spread. This injection is primarily used to treat certain types of cancer that have spread to other parts of the body (metastatic cancer), including cancer of the large intestine. It can be used either on its own or combined with other cancer treatments.
  • ERBITUX 100MG INJECTION is also used to treat specific types of squamous cell cancer that affect the head and neck area. Cancer is a condition where the body's cells grow and divide uncontrollably and abnormally. By targeting specific pathways, Cetuximab helps to slow down or stop this uncontrolled growth.
  • It's crucial not to use ERBITUX 100MG INJECTION if you are allergic to Cetuximab or any other ingredients in this medicine. It is generally not recommended for children and adolescents. Please inform your doctor about your complete medical history, especially if you have ever had problems with your heart, kidneys, or lungs. Also, be sure to tell your doctor if you have a known allergy to red meat, have had a tick bite, or have tested positive for certain antibodies related to these, as this medicine can potentially cause severe allergic reactions in such cases.
  • Inform your doctor immediately if you experience any eye problems, such as blurred vision, redness, severe dryness, or pain in your eyes, as these can be side effects of the treatment. Your doctor will likely perform regular blood tests to monitor your white blood cell (WBC) count, especially if you are receiving this medicine along with certain other anticancer medicines (like platinum-based therapies), as there is a risk of lowering WBC counts. If you are taking Fluoropyrimidine as part of your cancer treatment combination, it's very important to inform your doctor, as combining it with ERBITUX 100MG INJECTION can potentially increase the risk of serious heart problems, which could be life-threatening.
  • During treatment with ERBITUX 100MG INJECTION, you should not breastfeed or drive. It is also important to discuss and use effective contraception methods, as this medicine should not be used during pregnancy due to potential harm to the unborn baby. Other common side effects can include skin reactions (like rash, acne-like breakouts), fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, and changes in liver function tests. Always report any side effects or concerns to your healthcare provider.

Pregnancy

CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR

ERBITUX 100MG INJECTION may cause harm to the unborn baby when administered to a pregnant woman. You need to tell your physician if you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant before taking this medicine.

Dosage of ERBITUX 100MG INJECTIONArrow

  • This medicine, ERBITUX 100MG INJECTION, must only be given to you by a highly trained doctor or nurse. It is very important that you do not try to inject this medicine yourself. Before receiving the ERBITUX 100MG INJECTION, you will be given other medicines first (called pre-medication). These are given to help lower the chance of experiencing certain side effects or allergic-like reactions from the injection. Your doctor will carefully calculate the right amount (dose) of medicine for you and how often you need it. This decision is based on what condition is being treated, how serious it is, and your overall health. The medicine is given slowly into a vein through a drip (this is known as an intravenous infusion). While you are receiving the infusion, and for a period afterwards, medical staff will watch you closely to make sure you are tolerating the treatment well and to check for any unexpected or unwanted reactions.

How to store ERBITUX 100MG INJECTION?Arrow

  • Keep ERBITUX 100MG INJ 50ML away from the reach of children and pets.
  • Store ERBITUX 100MG INJ 50ML in a refrigerator (2 - 8°C). Do not freeze.

Benefits of ERBITUX 100MG INJECTIONArrow

  • Cetuximab is a targeted therapy that works by attaching specifically to a protein called the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which is found on the surface of many cancer cells. Think of EGFR as a receptor that receives signals telling the cell to grow and divide. When Cetuximab binds to EGFR, it effectively blocks these growth signals, preventing the cancer cells from getting the messages they need to multiply rapidly.
  • By blocking these vital growth signals, Cetuximab helps to slow down or stop the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells. This action is designed to help manage the disease, potentially reduce the size or spread of tumors, and is a key part of treatment for certain types of advanced cancers.

How to use ERBITUX 100MG INJECTIONArrow

  • Receiving ERBITUX 100MG INJECTION is a carefully managed treatment. It is absolutely essential that this medicine is administered only by a healthcare professional who has been specifically trained, such as a qualified doctor or nurse. You must never attempt to inject this medication yourself. Before you receive your dose of ERBITUX 100MG INJECTION, you will typically be given other medicines to help prevent or lessen potential side effects, especially allergic reactions. These are called pre-medications. Your doctor will determine the exact amount (dose) of ERBITUX 100MG INJECTION you need and for how long your treatment will continue. This is a personalized decision based on the specific type and severity of your condition, your body weight, and how you respond to the treatment. The medicine is given slowly into a vein (this is called an intravenous infusion), usually over a period of time. While you are receiving the infusion and shortly afterwards, medical staff will closely watch you for any signs of unwanted reactions or side effects. Please inform them immediately if you experience anything unusual.
