Kadcyla 160 MG Description

Kadcyla injection contains ado-trastuzumab emtansine, a prescription medication for treating HER2-positive breast cancer. This drug combines trastuzumab, an antibody targeting HER2 receptors, with emtansine, a chemotherapy agent that destroys cancer cells. Kadcyla injection is indicated for both early and advanced stages of breast cancer, particularly in cases where the disease recurs within six months following chemotherapy.

Kadcyla injection may cause side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and hair loss. Tell your doctor right away if you experience any allergic reactions or unusual bleeding. Kadcyla injection typically does not harm your kidneys. In rare cases, you might react to the infusion. Always talk to your healthcare provider for personalized medical advice.
