Paleno 100mg Capsule 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 it.
This medicine contains an active ingredient Palbociclib that 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.
It is used in the combination with another medicine, like fulvestrant, in patients with disease progression following endocrine therapy and an aromatase inhibitor 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.
