How Tecentriq Injection works

Tecentriq Injection is a type of monoclonal antibody. It works by blocking the activity of a protein located on the T cells- a type of white blood cells that regulate the functioning of the immune system. In the presence of Tecentriq Injection, the killing power of T-cells is restored and the immune response is stimulated to locate and destroy cancer cells.

  • Inform your doctor if you notice shortness of breath, chest pain, loss of appetite, and dark urine while taking this medicine.
