Product Description
Introduction to Docetax 120mg Injection
Docetax 120mg Injection contains an active constituent of docetaxel, which belongs to the class of anticancer medications known as taxoids.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Docetaxel and its ingredients. Before taking this medication, you must inform your physician if you have kidney and heart problems, vision problems, epilepsy, or alcohol addiction. It is not recommended for individuals with very few white blood cells or severe liver diseases. Use effective birth control during the treatment and at least six months after the last dose of Docetax 120mg Injection. Additionally, tell your doctor if you have or recently had any vaccinations before starting this treatment. Always give a detailed account of your medical history and medications to your healthcare provider for the safe and effective use of Docetax 120mg Injection.
Therapeutic Effects of Docetax 120mg Injection
Docetax 120mg Injection works by binding to a protein called beta-tubulin, which helps cells grow and divide. By doing this, it stops cancer cells from dividing properly and prevents the formation of structures needed for cell division. Additionally, Docetax 120mg Injection reduces the activity of a gene called BCL2, which usually helps cancer cells survive. By lowering this gene’s activity, the treatment helps cancer cells become more sensitive to natural cell death processes, making it easier for the body to fight against the cancer.

Inform your doctor about any prescribed medications, over-the-counter medicines, nutritional or vitamin supplements, and herbal products you take or have taken before the treatment. Certain medications may interact with Docetax 120mg Injection and cause undesirable side effects.
