Bortezomib is a medicine that inhibits the activity of proteasomes, which are enzymes responsible for breaking down proteins in cells. This inhibition causes a buildup of proteins that can lead to the death of cancer cells. Bortezomib can be administered via injection and is used to treat multiple myeloma, a type of cancer affecting the plasma cells in bone marrow, and mantle cell lymphoma, a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The cost of bortezomib injection can vary depending on factors such as insurance coverage and location. Common side effects of bortezomib include nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, and low blood cell counts.
