How It Works
The BTK enzyme plays an important role in B cell receptor signaling. In normal B cells, BTK function is helpful but in cancerous B cells, BTK activity becomes abnormal, causing cancer cells to grow and survive more than they should. Ibrunat 140mg tablet contains BTK inhibitors that block the enzyme and prevent the body from cancer growth and prevent the body from further growing cancer.
