This medicine should be administered as directed by your doctor in a healthcare setting. It's vital to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications before starting this medicine.

Peripheral neuropathy: This is a condition where you might feel numbness, tingling, or a burning sensation in your hands and feet.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Myezom 2 MG Injection 1. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Myezom 2 MG Injection 1 contains bortezomib (2 mg) which works on your body as follows:

Inhibits 26S Proteasome: Bortezomib works by blocking the 26S proteasome in your body. The proteasome is a complex within cells responsible for breaking down damaged or unneeded proteins.
Disrupts Cancer Cell Signalling: By inhibiting the proteasome, bortezomib disrupts multiple signalling pathways within the cancer cells. This leads to cell cycle arrest.
Induces Apoptosis: The disruption of the cell signalling pathways eventually leads to apoptosis, or programmed cell death, slowing tumour growth and spread.
