Abevmy 100mg/4ml Injection

Introduction to Abevmy 100mg/4ml Injection

Abevmy 100mg/4ml Injection is a medication used primarily in the treatment of certain types of cancer. Its active ingredient is bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). By inhibiting VEGF, Abevmy disrupts the blood supply to tumors, effectively slowing their growth and spread.

The drug is used to treat various cancers, including colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and renal cell carcinoma. It is often employed in combination with other chemotherapy or targeted therapies to enhance overall treatment efficacy. Abevmy is typically administered intravenously by a healthcare professional in a clinical setting.

Bevacizumab works by binding to VEGF, a protein that promotes the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) that tumors need to thrive. By blocking this protein, Abevmy reduces the formation of these blood vessels, depriving tumors of the nutrients and oxygen they need to grow.
