Bevatas 400 Injection 16ml contains bevacizumab (400 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• VEGF-A inhibition: Bevacizumab specifically targets and binds to a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), which normally promotes the formation of new blood vessels in the body.

• Anti-angiogenic effect: By blocking VEGF-A, this medicine prevents the development of new blood vessels (a process called angiogenesis) that tumours need to grow and spread.

• Tumour starvation: This action essentially cuts off the blood supply to cancer cells, depriving them of oxygen and nutrients they require for growth and survival.

• Enhanced chemotherapy delivery: When combined with traditional chemotherapy medicines, bevacizumab improves the delivery of these cytotoxic agents to the tumour while simultaneously limiting the tumour's growth potential.
