About Bavencio 200 mg Infusion

Bavencio 200 mg Infusion is an anti-cancer medicine used in the treatment of different types of cancer. Cancer is a disease where the cells grow abnormally and divide uncontrollably. This medicine is used in treating Merkel cell carcinoma as first-line therapy in combination with axitinib in patients with renal cell carcinoma and in patients with advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma that has not progressed with first-line platinum-containing chemotherapy.

Bavencio 200 mg Infusion contains Avelumab, which is a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that works by binding to PD-L1 selectively, blocking its interaction with PD-1, the inhibitory T-cell receptor. T-cell-mediated, adaptive antitumour immune responses are produced when PD-L1 inhibition eliminates the suppression of T-cell activity.

Bavencio 200 mg Infusion may cause certain side effects such as diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, itching, rash, headache, fever, shortness of breath, muscle/joint pain, loss of appetite and injection site reactions. Inform your doctor if any of these side effects persist for longer. Bavencio 200 mg Infusion will be administered by an oncologist trained in administering anti-cancer agents.
