How Does Opdivo 100mg Injection Work?
Opdivo works by blocking the interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1, which “unmasks” the cancer cells. This allows your T-cells to recognize and attack the cancer cells, thereby enhancing your immune response against the tumor.
Inhibition of Viral DNA Synthesis:
Ganciclovir selectively targets CMV-infected cells. It inhibits the action of viral DNA polymerase, an enzyme crucial for the replication of the virus’s genetic material. By halting DNA synthesis, the virus cannot multiply or infect additional cells.
Control and Reduction of Viral Load:
By suppressing viral replication, Valcyte helps reduce the viral load in the body, allowing the immune system to recover and combat the infection more effectively.
How Should You Take Opdivo 100mg Injection?
Opdivo 100mg Injection is administered as an intravenous infusion under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional, typically in a hospital or clinical setting. It is not a medication you can take at home or by yourself. The dosing schedule and duration of treatment are tailored to your specific condition and response to therapy.
Opdivo is delivered through an IV drip over 30–60 minutes.
A nurse or doctor will monitor you during and after the infusion to manage any immediate side effects or reactions.
Your doctor may assess your liver and kidney function, as well as your overall health, before starting treatment.
Let your healthcare provider know if you have a history of autoimmune conditions, organ transplants, or infections.
The treatment can last several months or longer, depending on how well your body responds and tolerates the medication.
Avoid starting other medications, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, or vaccines, without informing your doctor.
Inform your doctor immediately if you experience any symptoms such as fever, rash, breathing difficulties, or unusual fatigue, as these may indicate side effects.
