Introduction to Halaven 0.5mg Injection

Halaven 0.5mg Injection is a chemotherapy drug that contains the active substance eribulin, which belongs to the class of antineoplastic agents.

It is not recommended to take Halaven 0.5mg Injection if you are allergic to Eribulin or any of its other ingredients. Consult your doctor if you believe this applies to you.

Before starting the treatment, give a detailed account of your medical history and medications.

Therapeutic Effects of Halaven 0.5mg Injection

Halaven 0.5mg Injection stops the growth and spread of cancer cells, specifically targeting the growth phase of microtubules, which are structures that help cells divide. It prevents them from growing without interfering with their shrinking phase. Additionally, it causes tubulin, a protein essential for cell division, to clump together in a way that disrupts cell division. This ultimately leads to the blockage of the cell cycle (G2/M phase), disrupting the formation of structures necessary for cell division (mitotic spindles) and triggering cell death through apoptosis.

Inform your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription, over-the-counter, nutritional or vitamin supplements, and herbal products. Certain medications may interact with Halaven 0.5mg Injection and reduce effectiveness by causing undesirable side effects.
