Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Medicinal Benefits

Avangio Injection contains Bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody used to treat metastatic breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, kidney cancer, cervical cancer, epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, cancer of colon and rectum. Avangio Injection works against a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibition limits the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the tumour cells, causing them to shrink or cease developing. Thus, it helps treat cancer.
