FAQs

Avangio Injection is a monoclonal antibody used to treat metastatic breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, kidney cancer, cervical cancer, epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, cancer of colon and rectum.

Avangio Injection works against a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) limits the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the tumour cells, causing them to shrink or cease developing. Thereby, Avangio Injection helps treat cancer.

Avangio Injection may reduce the number of red blood cells leading to anaemia. Its symptoms include pale skin, lack of energy, feeling breathless, feeling dizzy and lightheadedness.

Chemotherapy remains necessary. Avangio Injection is given along with chemotherapy for treating cancer.

Avangio Injection may increase the risk of bleeding and problems with wound healing. If you have had major surgery in the past 28days or if the wound hasn't healed, you should not take Avangio Injection. Talk to your doctor for more information.

Avangio Injection may increase the incidence of hypertension. Therefore, consult your doctor before taking Avangio Injection if you have high blood pressure.

Avangio Injection is given intravenously (into a vein) infusion by a healthcare professional. Avangio Injection should never be given as an intravenous push or bolus. Do not self-administer.

The duration of treatment with Avangio Injection depends on your condition and response to the treatment. Your doctor will decide the length of time, based on its effectiveness and your tolerance. Regular monitoring will guide ongoing treatment.

Chemotherapy targets and destroys rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells, to stop their growth and spread. While, Avangio Injection works by inhibiting the formation of new blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to tumors. Cutting off this blood supply helps shrink the tumor or prevent it from growing further.

A person taking Avangio Injection may still require chemotherapy. Avangio Injection is often used in combination with chemotherapy to treat certain cancers, as it helps prevent tumor growth by blocking blood vessel formation and improves the effectiveness of chemotherapy.

Avangio Injection causes side effects such as constipation, loss of appetite, fever, nose bleeds, change in speech, voice changes/hoarseness, and loss of body weight. Most of these side effects do not require any medical requirements as they will gradually reduce over time. Contact a doctor if these side effects persist for longer durations.
