Description
Cizumab 300mg Injection is an anti-cancer medication used in the treatment of several types of cancer, such as colorectal, rectal, non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian, and brain tumors. Its active ingredient is Bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody that works by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). It works by blocking VEGF, which prevents the formation of new blood vessels that supply nutrients and oxygen to tumors.
The medicine slows or stops the growth of cancer cells in the body. A doctor's prescription is highly required while taking the medications. The exact dosage and duration is only recommended by the healthcare professional.

- Do not self-administer as improper use may lead to serious side effects.
How It Works
Colorectal, rectal, ovarian, and some other cancers are formed by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is a single protein or growth factor that stimulates the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis). Cizumab 300mg Injection blocks the protein called VEGF, which helps cancer grow blood vessels.
When the medicine stops VEGF, the tumor receives less blood and oxygen. This slows down or stops the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body.
