Ado-trastuzumab emtansine injection is used to treat HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (cancer that has spread to other parts of the body) in patients who have already received other medicines that did not work well. HER2 protein is produced by some breast tumors. Ado-trastuzumab emtansine interferes with the growth of this protein which also prevents tumor growth. The tumor cells will then be destroyed by the body.

Ado-trastuzumab emtansine is to be given only by or under the immediate supervision of your doctor.

Lo/Ovral-28 contains a combination of ethinyl estradiol and norgestrel. Ethinyl estradiol and norgestrel are female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). Lo/Ovral-28 also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.

Lo/Ovral-28 is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy.
