Overview
Ramucirumab 500mg Injection is a medicine used to treat stomach cancer (that got worse during or after a certain type of chemotherapy), colorectal cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. This medication interferes with the growth of cancer cells in the body. This medication comes in the form of an injection and it is given as an infusion every 2 to 3 weeks by your doctor or nurse.
