Zirabev is a prescription medication used to treat colorectal cancer, lung cancer, renal cell cancer (a type of cancer that begins in the kidney), glioblastoma, and cervical cancer.

Zirabev is a biosimilar to bevacizumab (brand name Avastin), which belongs to a group of drugs called antiangiogenic agents. It inhibits the development of new blood vessels by recognizing and binding to a particular protein. This inhibits the growth and spread of tumors.

This medication comes in a liquid form and is injected intravenously (into a vein) by your healthcare provider. You will most likely receive an injection every 2 or 3 weeks.

Common side effects include nosebleeds, headache, and high blood pressure.
