Cadilas medication is indicated for breast cancer management. Its mechanism involves inhibiting or retarding cancerous cell proliferation. It's administered either independently or alongside other therapies to manage advanced breast cancer. Cadilas should be ingested on an empty stomach, or one hour prior to, or two hours after, a meal.

Therapeutic benefits may not be apparent for several weeks or months; discontinuation should only occur under physician guidance. Frequently reported side effects encompass nausea, headache, back pain, and respiratory distress. Severe diarrhea warrants increased fluid intake or medical consultation. Regular blood pressure monitoring is often recommended. Report severe headache, confusion, visual disturbances, persistent nausea, or vomiting to your physician immediately. Liver function assessment may be performed pre-, during, and post-treatment. Pre-treatment disclosure of liver or kidney conditions is essential.
