Product Description
Introduction Of Polivy 140mg Injection
Polivy 140mg Injection is a cancer medicine that contains the active component of polatuzumab vedotin, which belongs to the class of antibody-drug conjugates.

It is not recommended to take this medication if you are allergic to Polatuzumab vedotin or its components. Also, this medication is not recommended for anyone under 18 years old. Before starting this medication, you must inform your doctor if you have any active infection.
Also, inform your doctor if you have recently been vaccinated or plan to receive a vaccination shortly. Additionally, make sure to tell your doctor if you have any kidney, liver, or heart problems or any other underlying health issues before taking this medication. A detailed overview of your medication history and medical background is crucial for safe and effective treatment.
Therapeutic Effects of Polivy 140mg Injection
Polivy 140mg injection works like a bomb: the drug has a guided part, the ‘monoclonal antibody,’ that specifically latches onto the cancer cells. Once attached, it releases a cancer-killing agent called ‘MMAE’ inside the B cells. This agent then disrupts the cancer cells’ ability to divide and grow, leading to death. This targeted approach helps attack the cancer cells without affecting many healthy cells.
Interaction of Polivy 140mg Injection with other drugs
Inform your physician about all the prescribed medicine, over-the-counter medications, nutritional or vitamin supplements, and herbal supplements you have taken before. Certain medications may interact with Polivy 140mg injection and can cause undesirable side effects.
