Description
Summary Of Taxonab 100mg Injection:
Taxonab 100mg Injection contains Paclitaxel, a taxane-group anticancer medicine used to treat breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, alone or together with other chemotherapy medicines. Each vial contains Paclitaxel 100 mg, and it is for intravenous (I.V.) use only.
Taxonab 100mg Injection is prepared and given by a doctor or trained nurse, as an infusion into a vein, in a hospital or cancer care centre. It is not for self-injection. Your oncologist will decide the dose and the schedule from your body size, the type and stage of your cancer, and your blood test results. Treatment is given in cycles with rest periods in between. Your doctor may give you other medicines before the infusion to lower the risk of allergic reactions, and will check your blood counts and liver function regularly.
Hair loss, tingling or numbness in the hands and feet, nausea, and tiredness are among the more common effects of this medicine. It can lower your blood cell counts, which makes you more likely to get infections and to bleed or bruise easily. Tell your doctor if you have liver, kidney, or heart problems, an infection, or a history of allergic reactions, and about every medicine you take. Inform your doctor immediately if you notice fever, sore throat, mouth ulcers, unusual bleeding or bruising, breathlessness, or swelling of the face.
Taxonab 100Mg Injection Uses:
- Breast cancer
- Non-small cell lung cancer
Benefits For Taxonab 100Mg Injection:
1. Breast Cancer
Breast cancer happens when cells in the breast grow out of control and can spread to other parts of the body. This injection, used alone or with other medicines, kills cancer cells and slows their growth. It helps to control the disease, and in cancer that has spread it may reduce the size of tumours and relieve symptoms.
2. Non-small cell pulmonary cancer
Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common type of lung cancer. This medicine, usually combined with a platinum medicine such as carboplatin or cisplatin, helps to slow the growth of the tumour and its spread in patients who cannot be treated with surgery or radiation alone.

Mechanism Of Action Of Taxonab 100mg Injection:
Taxonab 100mg Injection is an anticancer (antimicrotubule) medicine from the taxane group. Cells use tiny tubes called microtubules to divide, and these need to assemble and break down in a controlled way. Paclitaxel binds to the microtubules and stabilises them, so they cannot break down. The cancer cell becomes stuck in the middle of cell division and eventually dies. This is how it slows the growth and spread of cancer.
