Indications & Clinical Uses

It is prescribed for metastatic colorectal cancer in patients whose disease has worsened after prior therapy. The medication targets vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), reducing blood supply to tumors. Patients often ask, 'what is aflibercept used for' in oncology settings.

Side Effects

  • Aflibercept may help slow disease progression by interfering with blood vessel formation in tumors. Common effects include fatigue, diarrhea, and decreased appetite. Some patients report mouth sores or weight loss during treatment. These effects vary by individual and should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Aflibercept is administered intravenously under medical supervision, requiring careful monitoring for side effects. Patients with bleeding disorders or recent surgery may need special precautions. Blood pressure and protein levels in urine should be checked regularly. Always inform your doctor about current medications and health conditions before starting treatment.

Avoid Interactions

  • Aflibercept may interact with blood thinners, NSAIDs, or other drugs affecting blood clotting.
