Bortezom 2mg Injection 1 contains bortezomib (2 mg) which works on your body as follows:

• Inhibits 26S Proteasome: Bortezomib works by blocking the 26S proteasome in your body. The proteasome is a complex within cells responsible for breaking down damaged or unneeded proteins.

• Disrupts Cancer Cell Signalling: By inhibiting the proteasome, bortezomib disrupts multiple signalling pathways within the cancer cells. This leads to cell cycle arrest.

• Induces Apoptosis: The disruption of the cell signalling pathways eventually leads to apoptosis, or programmed cell death, slowing tumour growth and spread.
