About The Product
HR-positive, HER2-negative Breast Cancer
- Palbocib 125mg capsules are used in the treatment of breast cancer.
- Patients with certain breast cancer (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative and estrogen receptor-positive) can also be treated with Palbociclib 125mg capsules.
- This medicine belongs to a group of cancer-fighting medications called protein kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of chemicals that cause cancer cells to divide and grow.
- Palbocib 125mg capsules are used in combination with another medicine, like fulvestrant, in patients with disease progression following endocrine therapy and an aromatase inhibitor (such as anastrozole, exemestane, or letrozole) as initial endocrine-based therapy in postmenopausal women or in men.
- Close monitoring of blood cell count is necessary while having treatment with this medicine.
Uses
- HR-positive, HER2-negative Breast Cancer

How To Use
- Take the dose of Palbocib 125mg capsules as per your healthcare provider’s prescription.
- Palbocib 125mg capsules should be taken with food.
- You should not break, crush, or chew the medicine; it should be swallowed as a whole.
- Routine blood tests are done to monitor how Palbociclib affects your blood cells, including white cells, red cells, and platelets.
How It Works
- Palbociclib 125mg capsules, an anticancer medicine, work by inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6; as a result, cell growth ceases or stops, arresting the cancer cell cycle.
- Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (chemical messengers) play an essential role in downstream signaling pathways, which lead to the proliferation of cells.
- It also disrupts the cell cycle by targeting estrogen (hormone) receptor-positive breast cancer cells.
Safety Advice
Missed Doses
- If you miss a dose or vomit after taking the medicine, skip that dose and continue with your regular schedule.
- Do not take an extra dose to make up for the missed one.
