Tishtha 100mg

Tishtha 100mg Injection contains the active ingredient Nivolumab. It is used to treat various cancers, including those of the skin, lungs, kidneys, lymph nodes, bladder, esophagus, and urinary tract. This medication is prescribed when cancer has returned after previous treatments such as medication, surgery, or radiation. It aids the immune system in combating cancer more effectively. The mechanism involves targeting and inhibiting specific molecules that can hinder or diminish the immune system’s capacity to identify and attack cancer cells. By blocking these molecules, it enhances the immune response against cancer, potentially leading to a reduction in tumor size or a slowdown in tumor growth.

One of the advantages of this drug, along with other immunotherapy agents, is its ability to elicit long-lasting responses in some patients, even after treatment has ceased. This is in contrast to conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy, which generally offer only temporary relief and may come with considerable side effects. It is contraindicated for individuals who have experienced a severe allergic reaction to the drug or its components. Additionally, it is not recommended for patients with certain autoimmune disorders, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, as the medication may further stimulate the immune system and worsen these conditions. Caution is also advised for patients with a history of organ transplants.
