Bevatas 100 Injection is an anticancer medication used to treat various types of cancer, including colon and rectum, non-small cell lung, kidney, brain, ovarian, and cervical cancer. Bevatas 100 Injection is an effective medicine and first-line option when used together with other cancer medicines. It is given as an infusion, and your doctor will decide your dose and duration. You may experience side effects such as rectal bleeding, taste change, and headache. Inform your doctor if you notice any unusual bleeding or bleeding that doesn't stop easily. It can lower your wound healing ability, so inform your doctor before undergoing any surgical procedure. Your doctor may regularly check your blood pressure and levels of protein in your urine while you are on Bevatas 100 Injection.
Bevatas 100 Injection is a anti-angiogenic medication that works by blocking a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This stops the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to cancerous cells.
What kinds of cancer can Bevatas 100 Injection be used for?
Bevatas 100 Injection is approved for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (cancer that has spread to other parts of the body) and certain types of other cancers, including lung cancer, kidney cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, and glioblastoma (a type of brain tumor). It must be given in conjunction with chemotherapy.
How is Bevatas 100 Injection administered?
Bevatas 100 Injection is administered intravenously. This means a small needle will be inserted into a vein or a surgically implanted port, which allows for medication delivery through the skin.
How long can I take Bevatas 100 Injection?
You continue taking Bevatas 100 Injection as long as your disease is controlled and you experience manageable side effects. Your doctor will decide whether to discontinue treatment. If your cancer progresses, discuss potential alternative treatments with your physician.
How does Bevatas 100 Injection differ from chemotherapy?
Both Bevatas 100 Injection and chemotherapy work against cancer cells, but they have different mechanisms. Chemotherapy targets fast-growing cells, including cancer cells, and kills them directly. In contrast, Bevatas 100 Injection prevents the growth of new blood vessels that feed tumors, causing the tumor to shrink or stop growing.
Do I still need chemotherapy while taking Bevatas 100 Injection?
Yes. Chemotherapy is essential in conjunction with Bevatas 100 Injection for optimal treatment effectiveness.
