Esentra 120mg

About Esentra 120mg

Esentra 120mg is a prescription injection that contains Denosumab, a monoclonal antibody used to treat bone-related conditions such as bone metastases from solid tumors and giant cell tumor of bone. It works by inhibiting a protein called RANKL, which is responsible for the breakdown of bone tissue. By blocking this protein, Esentra helps reduce bone destruction and strengthens the bone structure. It is commonly used in patients with advanced cancers that have spread to the bones, to reduce the risk of fractures and related complications. The injection is administered subcutaneously once every four weeks by a healthcare professional. Regular monitoring of calcium levels is important, and calcium and vitamin D supplements may be recommended during treatment. Esentra 120mg is supplied in a single-dose prefilled syringe and must be stored in a refrigerator. Common side effects include fatigue, nausea, low calcium levels, and bone pain.
