What is Palbociclib 125 mg Capsule?

Additionally, palbociclib is used in conjunction with fulvestrant to treat a specific type of advanced hormone receptor-positive breast cancer or breast cancer that has developed to other areas of the body in patients who have already received treatment with an antiestrogen drug like tamoxifen.

- Don’t take another dose of palbociclib if you vomit after receiving it. Continue taking your medication as usual.
How It works?
Palbociclib is a cancer-prevention drug. Downstream signaling pathways that promote cell proliferation are cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6, which act as chemical messengers. This medication stops the cancer cell cycle (the process of cells developing) by blocking cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6. By interfering with the cell cycle, it also targets breast cancer cells that have estrogen (hormone) receptors.
