Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Zaltrap, known generically as aflibercept, is used alongside chemotherapy to treat metastatic colorectal cancer in adults. It belongs to a class of medications that work by blocking blood vessel growth in tumors. Patients often ask, what is Zaltrap used for, and it is specifically indicated for advanced cancer cases when combined with standard chemotherapy regimens.

Side Effects

Common effects may include changes in blood pressure or fatigue, which are monitored during treatment. Individual responses can vary widely.

Precautions & Warnings

Combining it with certain chemotherapy drugs or other biologics could alter effectiveness or increase side effects. Always disclose all current medications to your healthcare provider before treatment begins.
