Celvestrant PFS Injection

Celvestrant PFS Injection belongs to the class of estrogen blockers used to treat breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops when the breast cells begin to grow abnormally.

Celvestrant PFS Injection contains Fulvestrant, which works by inhibiting some of the actions of estrogen (female sex hormone which may help cancer cells grow in women with breast cancer) and reducing the amount that is in the body. Thus, it helps in reducing breast cancer tumour growth.

Celvestrant PFS Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, Celvestrant PFS Injection may cause certain common side effects such as injection site reactions like pain and/or inflammation, weakness, nausea, tiredness, headache or joint and musculoskeletal pain.

The tumor cells invade other healthy breast cells and can travel to lymph nodes, a primary pathway for the cancer cells to move to other parts of the body. Symptoms include a lump in the breast or tissue thickening which feels different than the normal surrounding tissues, breast pain, redness, swelling, nipple discharge other than breast milk, bloody discharge, unexplained change in shape, size, or appearance of the breast, peeling, flaking or scaling of the skin, and a lump or swelling under the arm.
