Opdivo 40mg Injection (Nivolumab)

How Does Opdivo 40mg Injection Works? 

Opdivo (nivolumab) is a type of immunotherapy called a checkpoint inhibitor. It works by blocking a protein called PD-1 on immune cells called T-cells. PD-1 normally helps to keep T-cells from attacking other cells in the body. However, cancer cells can sometimes use PD-1 to hide from the immune system. By blocking PD-1, Opdivo helps T-cells recognize and attack cancer cells. 

How Should You Take Opdivo 40mg Injection?

Opdivo is given as an intravenous (IV) infusion, meaning it is injected into a vein. The dosage and frequency of Opdivo infusions will vary depending on the type of cancer being treated, the patient’s overall health, and other factors. It is important to follow the healthcare provider’s instructions carefully.
