Overview & Usage

Overview

Cetuxa 100 mg Injection is an anticancer medicine containing cetuximab, a targeted therapy used to treat certain metastatic cancers. It is most commonly prescribed for colorectal (large intestine) cancer and head and neck cancers, especially specific squamous cell carcinomas. Cetuximab works by blocking the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a protein involved in cancer cell growth, thereby helping to slow or stop the progression of the disease.

Cetuxa 100 mg Injection is given as an intravenous (IV) infusion in a hospital or clinical setting under the supervision of an oncologist. The dosage and treatment schedule depend on the patient’s body weight, medical condition, and overall treatment plan, with close monitoring during and after infusion to manage possible reactions. Like other cancer therapies, side effects such as infusion reactions and skin rashes may occur, requiring regular follow-up. The Cetuxa 100 mg injection price in India may vary by hospital and supplier, and questions about Cetuxa vs Erbitux usually relate to brand availability and cost, as both contain the same active ingredient.


Usage

  • 1. Metastatic colorectal cancer (cancer of the large intestine), especially in patients with specific genetic profiles (such as KRAS wild-type tumors)
  • 2. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, including locally advanced or recurrent disease
  • Pharmacological Effects

    Cetuxa 100 mg Injection (20 ml) contains cetuximab, a targeted anticancer medicine that binds to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on cancer cells, blocking the signals responsible for their growth and division.

As a result, it prevents abnormal cell division within the body, slows down the growth of cancer cells and helps the bone marrow to produce normal blood cells.

    It is used to treat:

    • All sub-types of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS; group of cancers associated with blood and bone marrow)
