• On the surface of some cancer cells, there is a protein called HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2). Think of HER2 like a switch that, when turned on, tells the cancer cells to grow and multiply very quickly. When cancer cells have too much HER2, it can lead to faster growth and spread.
• VIVITRA 150MG INJECTION is a specialized medicine designed to fight these specific types of cancer. It works by targeting the HER2 protein.
• VIVITRA 150MG INJECTION selectively binds to, or attaches itself to, the HER2 protein on the surface of the cancer cells. By attaching to HER2, VIVITRA 150MG INJECTION effectively blocks the growth signals.
• This action helps to stop the cancer cells from growing, dividing, and spreading. Because it specifically targets the HER2 protein, VIVITRA 150MG INJECTION is known as a targeted therapy. This approach aims to attack the cancer cells while being less harmful to healthy cells compared to traditional chemotherapy. In essence, VIVITRA 150MG INJECTION acts like a precise blockade, shutting down the key growth pathway that these particular cancer cells rely on.

• VIVITRA 150MG INJECTION is an important part of your treatment plan and will be given to you by a healthcare professional. The timing of when you receive VIVITRA 150MG INJECTION is planned carefully by your doctor, and it may be administered either before or after your surgery, depending on your specific condition and treatment schedule.
• This medication is given directly into your vein through a drip, which is called an intravenous infusion. For your very first dose, the infusion will usually take about 90 minutes to complete.
• This slower speed allows the healthcare team to monitor you closely to ensure you tolerate the medication well. If your first infusion goes smoothly and you don't experience any significant issues, future doses of VIVITRA 150MG INJECTION can typically be given more quickly, usually over about 30 minutes. Always follow the instructions provided by your doctor and healthcare team regarding the administration of this medication.
