How it Works

Docetaxel works by stabilizing microtubules, which are structural components required for cell division. Normally, microtubules assemble and disassemble during the cell cycle to allow chromosomes to separate during mitosis. Docetaxel binds to microtubules and prevents them from breaking down, which disrupts the normal process of cell division.

As a result, cancer cells are unable to divide and multiply effectively, leading to cell death. Because rapidly dividing cancer cells are more sensitive to this mechanism, docetaxel can help slow tumor growth when administered as prescribed and monitored by an oncology specialist.

Dosage & Administration

• Daxotel is administered as an intravenous infusion in a hospital or oncology clinic.

• The dosage is calculated based on body surface area and treatment protocol.

• Infusions are typically given every 3 weeks, depending on the chemotherapy regimen.
