Hermab 150 MG Injection contains trastuzumab (150 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Binds to HER2 receptors: Trastuzumab selectively attaches to the HER2 receptors on cancer cell surfaces, blocking the signals that promote uncontrolled cell growth and division.

• Inhibits growth signals: By blocking these receptors, the medicine prevents cancer cells from receiving the chemical messages that tell them to grow and multiply rapidly.

• Activates the immune system: Trastuzumab helps your body's immune system (your natural defence against disease) recognise and destroy the cancer cells marked by the medicine.

• Dual action mechanism: The combined effect of directly blocking growth signals while also activating your immune response makes this medicine particularly effective against tumours with high levels of HER2 protein.

• Store Hermab 150 MG Injection in a refrigerator between 2-8°C.

• Keep the vial in its original packaging to protect it from light.

• Never freeze the medicine as this will damage its structure.

• Once prepared, use the solution within the timeframe specified by your doctor.

• Keep out of sight and reach of children.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

• Balanced nutrition: While undergoing treatment for HER2-positive cancer, aim to maintain a nutrient-rich diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins to support your body's healing processes and energy levels.

• Regular cardiac monitoring: As Hermab 150 MG Injection may affect heart function, attend all scheduled heart check-ups (echocardiograms) and report any unusual shortness of breath, swelling in ankles, or unusual fatigue to your doctor promptly.
