Trastuzumab 440mg injection treats breast and gastric cancers by targeting and eliminating HER2-positive cancer cells. Administered intravenously by a healthcare professional, the dosage and frequency are determined by your physician based on your condition and may vary.

Therapeutic benefits may take weeks or months to manifest; discontinue only under medical supervision. Common side effects include nausea, headache, rash, sleep disturbances, and infections. This medication can lower blood cell counts, increasing infection risk, necessitating regular blood tests monitoring blood cell levels, cardiac function, liver health, and uric acid. Report shortness of breath, cough, chills, or limb swelling immediately. Inform your healthcare provider of all other medications you are taking, as interactions are possible. This injection is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation; effective contraception for both partners is essential throughout treatment.
