Phesgo 600mg/600mg Injection is a targeted therapy containing the active constituents pertuzumab and trasrtuzumab. It is used to treat a type of breast cancer (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive breast cancer) that has spread to other parts of the body (metastasized) or cancer that has come back after the treatment.
