Phesgo 1200mg/600mg Solution for Injection

Phesgo 1200mg/600mg Solution for Injection is a combination medicine that contains Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab. Breast cancer that is HER2-positive is treated with it. The HER2 receptor, a protein that stimulates the proliferation of cancer cells, is the target of the combination.

Brand Name: Phesgo

Composition: Pertuzumab, Trastuzumab

Mechanism of Action:

The HER2 receptor, a protein that is overexpressed in some breast tumors, is the target of pertuzumab. It prevents HER2 from dimerizing with other HER receptors by binding to a different epitope on the HER2 receptor than trastuzumab. The anticancer activity is enhanced by this dual blockage. Whereas trastuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that attaches itself to the HER2 receptor's extracellular domain (Subdomain IV), causing it to be downregulated and destroyed.

Uses:

Breast Cancer

Dosage and Administration:

Compared to separate intravenous infusions of pertuzumab and trastuzumab, Phesgo is easier to administer and is supplied as a subcutaneous injection. Typically, the initial injection takes around eight minutes, then the subsequent injections take roughly five minutes.
