Product Overview
About Perjeta
Perjeta is a prescription medicine that should be used under the supervision of a doctor who is experienced in using cancer medicines.
What it is used for
Perjeta is used to treat HER2-positive cancer cells.
How it is used
Perjeta is given by infusion into a vein. The recommended first dose is 840 mg given over one hour, followed by a dose of 420 mg every three weeks, with each dose given over half an hour to one hour.
How it works
The active substance in Perjeta, pertuzumab, is a monoclonal antibody that attaches to HER2, a protein found on HER2-positive cancer cells. By attaching to HER2, pertuzumab stops HER2 producing signals that cause the cancer cells to grow. It also activates cells of the immune system, which then kill the cancer cells.
