How it works

Bortebuzz 3.5mg Injection works by exerting a toxic effect on cancer cells. It inhibits the 26S proteasome and blocks a major cell signaling pathway. This inhibition of the signaling pathway makes the cancer cells sensitive to chemotherapy. By inhibiting the proteasome, Bortebuzz 3.5mg Injection disrupts the normal process of protein degradation within the cell. This leads to the accumulation of misfolded or damaged proteins, which are toxic to the cell. The accumulation of misfolded proteins triggers a series of cellular responses, including the activation of stress pathways and the induction of apoptosis. This medicine also enhances the build-up of a protein and minimizes cancer cell growth and multiplication.

Side effects are unwanted symptoms caused by medicines. Even though all drugs cause side effects, not everyone gets them.
