General Information:
Generic Name: Palbociclib
Brand Name: Piciclib 125mg
Packing: Bottle of 21 capsules
Strength: 125 mg
Manufacturer: [To be added/customized]
Form: Oral Capsules
Category: Anti-cancer, CDK4/6 Inhibitor
Product Introduction:
Piciclib 125mg contains Palbociclib, a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor used to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. It is taken orally and typically prescribed alongside hormone therapy like Letrozole or Fulvestrant to enhance the effectiveness of treatment in postmenopausal women or men with metastatic breast cancer.

Uses:
Piciclib 125mg is used for:
  1. Hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer
  2. As first-line therapy with Letrozole
  3. In combination with Fulvestrant for disease progression after hormone therapy
  4. To delay cancer progression
  5. Improve progression-free survival
  6. Enhance overall response in advanced-stage disease

Storage Instructions:
  1. Store below 25°C
  2. Keep the bottle tightly closed and away from moisture
  3. Protect from light and heat
  4. Keep out of reach of children

How It Works (Mechanism of Action):
Palbociclib inhibits cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6), which are involved in cell cycle regulation. Blocking these enzymes halts the cancer cell cycle at the G1 phase, preventing them from dividing and growing. This action slows the spread of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer cells.
