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.
