Abraxane Paclitaxel Albumin Stabilizer 100 mg

How It Works

Abraxane (paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation) is an antineoplastic agent that works by inhibiting the normal breakdown of microtubules during cell division, thereby stopping the growth of cancer cells. Paclitaxel, the active ingredient, is a chemotherapy medication that interferes with the function of microtubules, which are essential for cell division. The albumin-stabilized formulation allows for better delivery of paclitaxel to the tumor cells.
