Uses Of TrastuRel 150mg Injection:

Benefits Of TrastuRel 150mg Injection:
1. Breast cancer
Breast cancer occurs when cells in the breast grow uncontrollably, often forming a lump or mass, driven in some cases by an excess of the HER2 protein. TrastuRel 150mg Injection targets and binds to this HER2 protein, helping slow or stop the growth of cancer cells, shrink tumours, and reduce the risk of the cancer returning.
2. Stomach cancer
Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, can cause symptoms like indigestion, weight loss, and stomach pain. TrastuRel 150mg Injection helps slow tumour growth and improve the effect of other cancer treatments, helping control the disease more effectively.

Mechanism Of Action Of TrastuRel 150mg Injection:
TrastuRel Injection contains Trastuzumab, a recombinant monoclonal antibody. It works by binding to and blocking the HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) protein, which is overexpressed on the surface of certain cancer cells and responsible for their excessive growth. By inhibiting HER2, TrastuRel helps stop the overgrowth and spread of cancer cells and triggers programmed cell death in the cancer cells.
