Altuzan 400mg /16ml Bevacizumab Injection In Pakistan
Altuzan 400mg/16ml is an anticancer prescription medicine containing bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). It works by blocking a protein that helps tumors develop new blood vessels, which may slow tumor growth.
Bevacizumab is used to treat certain types of cancer, sometimes in combination with other anticancer medicines. The exact indication depends on the cancer type, stage, and treatment plan determined by an oncology specialist.
