A qualified oncology team administers it as an intravenous infusion after premedication to reduce allergic reactions.

Intaxel 150mg Injection Ingredients and Usage

Intaxel 150mg Injection contains paclitaxel, a taxane belonging to the antimicrotubule anticancer drug class. Oncologists prescribe it as first line therapy for ovarian carcinoma, usually combined with cisplatin, and as second line treatment after platinum based therapy fails.

Intaxel 150mg Injection also treats node positive breast cancer as adjuvant therapy, non small cell lung cancer, and AIDS related Kaposi's sarcoma. A specialist experienced in chemotherapy administration must supervise every infusion.

How Does Intaxel 150mg Injection Work?

Paclitaxel promotes the assembly of microtubules from tubulin dimers and stabilizes the resulting structure by preventing depolymerization. Microtubules normally disassemble and reassemble to allow cell division to proceed.

By locking microtubules in place, Intaxel 150mg Injection blocks the normal dynamic reorganization needed for mitosis. This arrests cancer cells during cell division and triggers cell death, slowing tumor growth across multiple cancer types.
