WHAT CAELYX PEGYLATED LIPOSOMAL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Caelyx pegylated liposomal is an antitumour agent.
Caelyx pegylated liposomal is used to treat cancer of the breast in
patients at risk for heart problems.
Caelyx pegylated liposomal is also used to treat cancer of the ovary.
It is used to kill cancer cells,
shrink the size of the tumour, delay the growth of the tumour, and
extend your survival.
Caelyx pegylated liposomal is also used in combination with another
medicine, bortezomib, to treat
multiple myeloma (a cancer of the blood) in patients who have received
at least 1 prior therapy.
Caelyx pegylated liposomal is also used to produce an improvement in
your Kaposi’s sarcoma

Other symptoms of Kaposi’s

surface-bound methoxypolyethylene glycol (MPEG). This process is known
as pegylation and protects
liposomes from detection by the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS),
which increases blood
circulation time.
