NAB-PACLIEVA 100MG ( Paclitaxel (Protien Bound Particles) for Injection Suspension 100 MG )

NAB-PACLIEVA 100 mg contains Paclitaxel (protein-bound particles), also known as nab-paclitaxel. It is a chemotherapy (anticancer) drug in which paclitaxel is bound to human albumin nanoparticles. This formulation improves drug delivery to tumor cells and eliminates the need for solvent (Cremophor EL), reducing hypersensitivity reactions.

1. Breast cancer (metastatic or locally advanced)

2. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (with carboplatin)
