BORTEZOMIB contains ‘Bortezomibx’ that works by interfering with how proteasomes work, which may cause cancer cells to die and may stop cancer from growing and eventually kills them.
BORTEZOMIB is prescribed by a doctor experienced in the use of medications to treat cancer. It is administered by a healthcare professional as an injection into your vein (intravenously or IV) or under your skin (subcutaneously, or SC). BORTEZOMIB must not be administered into your spinal fluid (intrathecally). You may experience nausea, diarrhea, thrombocytopenia (a low platelet count), neutropenia (low white blood cell count), peripheral neuropathy (nerves malfunction), fatigue, neuralgia, anemia, leukopenia, constipation, vomiting, lymphopenia, rash, pyrexia, and anorexia. Most of these side effects of BORTEZOMIB do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
