Product Information
How It Works
Trastuzumab is a HER2-targeted biologic medicine used in patients whose tumors overexpress the HER2 protein. HER2 is a receptor that can promote cancer cell growth and survival when present at increased levels.
Vivitra binds specifically to HER2 receptors and interferes with HER2 signaling, helping slow or stop the growth of HER2-positive cancer cells. It may be used alone or with chemotherapy and other treatments depending on the cancer type and treatment plan. Cardiac function is generally monitored during treatment because Trastuzumab can affect heart function in some patients.
