What is Bevatas 400 mg injection?
Bevatas 400 mg injection contains bevacizumab as its active ingredient. It comes as a vial for injection, given into a vein during the cancer treatment. It is manufactured by Intas Pharmaceuticals in India. This medicine belongs to a drug group called monoclonal antibodies. These are made in a lab to target one specific protein in the body, rather than acting everywhere at once.
When do doctors prescribe Bevatas 400 mg injection?
This injection is used in cancer care, mainly for tumors that need a strong blood supply to keep growing. It is used for several types of cancer, usually alongside chemotherapy rather than on its own. Common conditions treated include:
- Colon and rectal cancer
- Lung cancer
- Kidney cancer
- Certain ovarian and cervical cancers
A doctor decides which combination and course fits each person’s cancer type and condition stage.
How does bevacizumab work inside the body?
Tumors release a protein called Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor, which tells nearby tissue to grow new blood vessels toward the cancer. Bevacizumab attaches to Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and stops it from sending that signal. With fewer new blood vessels forming, the tumor gets less blood, oxygen, and nutrients. This slows down how fast the cancer can grow and spread.
Side effects
Most people notice mild reactions, but some side effects need quick attention. Common ones include:
- Feeling tired or weak
- Rise in blood pressure
- Headache
- Loose stools or stomach upset
- Nose bleeds
- Slower healing of cuts or wounds
- Protein showing up in urine tests
If you get sudden chest pain, severe stomach pain, or signs of heavy bleeding, get emergency care right away.
Who should avoid this injection?
- Pregnant women should not take it. It can affect how the baby grows.
- Anyone with a recent surgery or wound that hasn’t healed should wait before starting treatment.
- People with uncontrolled high blood pressure need this brought under control first.
- Anyone with a known allergy to bevacizumab or to any part of this injection should not take it.
Tell your doctor about any bleeding disorders, heart problems, or recent strokes before this injection is planned.
