General Information On Herceptin
Herceptin is a sterile, lyophilized powder for intravenous injection as a cancer medication. It is approved to be used in the treatment of certain types of breast cancers that have metastasized, either in combination with other drugs or following treatment with other medications. It is also used for reducing the risk of recurring breast cancers in women who have already been treated. Herceptin drug is also indicated to be used in treatment of gastric cancer in combination with other drugs. This medication belongs to the category of medications known as monoclonal antibodies which use the human immune system to kill cancerous cells.
Side Effects / Precautions For Herceptin
The main ingredient of the drug is trastuzumab which is produced by recombinant DNA technology in a mammalian cell culture. Trastuzumab works in three basic ways – it blocks the proliferation of cancerous cells, it helps the natural immune system to detect the tumors and synergizes with chemotherapy for optimum cancer control. Do not take brand or generic Herceptin if you are allergic to its active ingredients or to benzyl alcohol. You should tell your doctor about all the prescription and non- prescription medicines you take before he starts you on the drug. The doctor should also know about your heart diseases, allergies, breathing problems, history of heart attacks, pregnancy or intention to become pregnant.
