oxygen from blood in order to
grow. By blocking the growth of blood vessels, ZALTRAP helps to stop
or slow down the growth of
the tumour.
WHAT ZALTRAP IS USED FOR
ZALTRAP is a medicine used to treat advanced cancers of the colon or
rectum (parts of the large
intestine) in adults. It will be given with other medicines called
‘chemotherapy’, including
‘5-fluorouracil’, ‘folinic acid’, and ‘irinotecan’.
