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.

How Does Abevmy 100mg/4ml Works?

Abevmy Injection contains bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody that works by targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF is a protein that stimulates the growth of new blood vessels, which tumors rely on for nutrients and oxygen to grow and spread.

By binding to VEGF, Abevmy blocks its action, preventing the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis). Without a fresh blood supply, the tumor is starved of the nutrients it needs to grow, slowing its progression or shrinking it over time.
