Introduction
Erbitux 500mg Injection belongs to a class of monoclonal antibodies. It is used with or without radiation therapy to treat various cancer conditions, such as metastatic cancer of the large intestine and squamous cell cancer (a certain type of head and neck cancer). Cancer is a genetic change in which the body's cells divide uncontrollably and spread into surrounding tissues.
Erbitux 500mg Injection contains Cetuximab, which works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells. As a result, it prevents the cancer from spreading.
Uses
- Metastatic colorectal cancer
- Squamous cell cancer head and neck
How to Consume
Erbitux 500mg Injection should only be given to patients in a hospital setting under the supervision of a physician trained and experienced in administering cancer chemotherapeutic drugs.
Benefits
Cetuximab binds to the protein called epidermal growth factor receptor (EFGR). As a result of this binding, cancer cells no longer receive the signal that the cells need for growth and development. Thus, this medication prevents cancer cells from growing.
