Storage and disposal

Store in a refrigerator (2 °C – 8 °C). Keep the container in the outer carton to protect it from light.

Dosage

Overdose

Your doctor or nurse will give Ujvira powder for injection. Therefore, the chances of overdose are very rare. If you experience symptoms immediately after taking the injection, seek medical help.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Trastuzumab emtansine is a targeted therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer. It combines an antibody (trastuzumab) that binds to the HER2 protein on cancer cells with a chemotherapy drug (emtansine). This allows the chemotherapy to be delivered directly to the cancer cells, potentially reducing side effects while effectively targeting and killing the tumour.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Tell your doctor about all the medicines, supplements or herbals you are currently taking or might take to avoid any possible interaction.
