Trazimera is used to treat certain types of breast cancer or stomach cancer, sometimes in combination with other cancer medicines.

Trazimera is sometimes used when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic).

Trazimera may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Do not use if you are pregnant. Use effective birth control, and tell your doctor if you become pregnant during treatment.

Trazimera can cause heart failure, especially if you have heart disease or if you are also receiving certain other cancer medicines.

Some side effects may occur during the injection. Tell your caregivers if you feel dizzy, nauseated, light-headed, weak, short of breath, or if you have a headache, fever, or chills.

Your doctor will perform a medical test to make sure Trazimera is the right medicine to treat your cancer.

Trazimera is given as an infusion into a vein. A healthcare provider will give you this injection.
