Bortezomib

Bortezomib is the active ingredient in the medication.It is a proteasome inhibitor, meaning it blocks the activity of proteasomes within cells.Proteasomes are responsible for breaking down proteins in cells, and bortezomib disrupts this process, leading to cell death in certain types of cancer cells.

Multiple myeloma (a type of blood cancer)

Mantle cell lymphoma (a type of nonHodgkin's lymphoma)

Certain types of Waldenström macroglobulinemia (a type of blood cancer)

Mibor 3.5 Injection (Bortezomib) works by inhibiting the activity of proteasomes, which are responsible for breaking down proteins in cells. This disruption leads to the accumulation of proteins in the cell, ultimately causing cell death. Bortezomib primarily targets cancer cells, as they are more sensitive to proteasome inhibition than healthy cells.

Store bortezomib at room temperature, away from heat, light, and moisture. Keep the medication in its original container and keep it out of reach of children and pets.

The dosage of bortezomib is determined by your doctor based on your individual health condition and response to treatment.
