Introduction:

Priunta 440mg Injection consists of the active ingredient Trastuzumab. It is indicated to treat early-stage and metastatic breast cancer where the cancer cells develop due to overexpression of HER2 proteins. This medication is also used to treat metastatic gastric cancer with increased levels of HER2 proteins. Cancer occurs when the cells begin to grow abnormally and uncontrollably, and cancer that has begun to spread is termed metastatic cancer.

Priunta 440mg Injection is not recommended for patients aged under 18, patients who have severe breathing problems or need oxygen treatment. It is necessary to let your physician know if you have any heart problems, breathlessness, or have ever had any other cancer treatment. Make sure you inform your physician of all the medicines, including supplements and herbal medicines, you are taking before you start treatment with this medication.

Use effective birth control during the treatment and for at least 7 months after the final dose. Suppose you begin any new medication within seven months after the final dose. In that case, you must inform the health care professional that you have had Priunta 440mg Injection as this drug may take around 7 months to be eliminated from the body. 

Uses of Priunta 440mg Injection:

How Priunta 440mg Injection Works:

The substance called HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) is found in abundant amounts on surface of certain cancer cells, where it stimulates cancer growth. Priunta 440mg Injection selectively binds to HER2 and stops the growth of cancer cells.

Ertapenem injection comes as a powder to be mixed with liquid to be injected intravenously (into a vein) or intramuscularly (into a muscle). It is infused (injected slowly) intravenously over a period of at least 30 minutes once or twice a day for up to 14 days. It is also may be given once or twice a day intramuscularly for up to 7 days. The length of treatment depends on the type of infection being treated. Your doctor will tell you how long to use ertapenem injection. After your condition improves, your doctor may switch you to another antibiotic that you can take by mouth to complete your treatment.

You may receive ertapenem injection in a hospital, or you may use the medication at home. If you will be using ertapenem injection at home, use it at around the same time(s) every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or other healthcare provider to explain any part you do not understand. Use ertapenem injection exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

If you will be using ertapenem injection at home, your health care provider will show you how to use the medication. Be sure that you understand these directions, and ask your healthcare provider if you have any questions. Ask your healthcare provider what to do if you have any problems infusing ertapenem injection.

You should begin to feel better during the first few days of treatment with ertapenem injection. If your symptoms do not improve or if they get worse, call your doctor.

Use ertapenem injection until you finish the prescription, even if you feel better. If you stop using ertapenem injection too soon or if you skip doses, your infection may not be completely treated and the bacteria may become resistant to antibiotics.
