Description

ABEMACICLIB

ABEMACICLIB belongs to the group of anti-cancer drugs called kinase inhibitors used alone or in combination with other anti-cancer drugs to treat certain types of breast cancer. Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the breast when the breast cells begin to grow abnormally.

ABEMACICLIB contains Abemaciclib which works by blocking cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 proteins, which are necessary for the growth and division of the cells. Thereby, slows down the growth of cancer cells and delays the progression of cancer.

Take ABEMACICLIB in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. ABEMACICLIB may cause certain common side effects such as nausea, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and fatigue. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if these side effects persist. 

Avoid taking ABEMACICLIB if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. ABEMACICLIB may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. ABEMACICLIB should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with ABEMACICLIB as it could lead to increased dizziness. Inform your doctor about your health condition and medications before taking ABEMACICLIB to rule out any side effects.

Medicinal Benefits

ABEMACICLIB is an anti-cancer drug used in the treatment of certain types of breast cancers. ABEMACICLIB is used either independently or in conjunction with other chemotherapy medications. ABEMACICLIB works by inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK) which are responsible for the uncontrolled growth and proliferation of cancer cells. By inhibiting these, ABEMACICLIB helps prevent the progression of the disease, nips the spread and shrinks the tumour tissue.
