What Temziva is and what it is used for? Temziva contains the active substance tocilizumab, which is a protein made from specific immune cells, that blocks the action of a specific protein (cytokine) called interleukin-6. IL-6 activity in the body causes inflammation in the body. Temzia Blocks the IL-6 receptors and reduces the inflammation in your body and reduces symptoms. Temziva is used for: Treat adults with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Temziva can be given alone or in combination with Methotrexate and other non-biologic DMARDs.

What is Stivant and what is it used for? Stivant contains the active substance bevacizumab, which is a humanized monoclonal antibody. Bevacizumab binds to a protein called human vascular endothelial growth factor, which is found on the lining of blood and lymph vessels in the body. This growth factor causes blood vessels to grow within the tumours, these blood vessels provide the tumour with nutrients and oxygen. Once bevacizumab binds to VEGF, the tumour growth is prevented by blocking the growth of the blood vessels which provide the nutrients and oxygen to the tumour. Stivant is used for: Treatment of adult patients with metastatic breast cancer. When used for patients…

What is AryoTrust and what is it used for? AryoTrust contains the active ingredient Trastuzumab (a monoclonal antibody). Trastuzumab attach to specific proteins or antigens and is designed to bind selectively to an antigen called human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). HER2 is found on the surface of some cancer cells where it stimulates their growth. AryoTrust binds to HER2 and stops the growth of such cells, causing them to die. AryoTrust is used to treat breast and gastric cancer. it is prescribed only when: You have early breast cancer, with high levels of a protein called HER2. You have metastatic breast cancer with high levels of HER2. AryoTrust…

What is Zytux and what is it used for? Zytux contains the active ingredient called Rituximab, which is a monoclonal antibody and an anti-neoplastic (anti-cancer) agent. agent. Zytux binds to the CD20 antigen located on pre-B and mature B lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). CD20 is present in more than 90 %of B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHL), cancer that starts in the lymphocytes. By doing so, it causes the malignant cells to die. Zytux is used to treat: Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL): NHL is a disease of the lymph tissue (part of the immune system) that affects B-Lymphocytes. Zytux is indicated for the treatment of CD20-positive Hodgkinnon lymphomas (NHL) including:…

What is Arylia and what is it used for? Arylia contains the active ingredient Denosumab. Denosumab is a human monoclonal antibody that targets and binds with high affinity and specificity to RANKL. RANKL is a protein that is necessary for the function, formation, and survival of osteoclast. Arylia stops RANKL from activating its receptor RANK, present on the surface of osteoclasts. This prevents osteoclast function, formation, and survival, hence decreasing resorption of bone and increasing bone mass and strength. It is used to treat: Osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and in men at increased risk of fractures. Bone loss associated with hormone ablation in men with prostate cancer at increased risk…
