Palbociclib (125mg)

Overview Kixta 125mg Capsule

Palbociclib 125mg capsules are indicated for managing certain advanced breast cancers (ER-positive, HER2-negative) that have metastasized. This medication is administered concurrently with endocrine-based cancer therapies. Consistent daily dosing, ideally with food, maximizes therapeutic efficacy. Dosage frequency and duration are determined individually by your oncologist based on your specific condition and may be adjusted. Strictly adhere to your physician's prescribed regimen; deviations can result in severe adverse reactions. While benefits may not be immediately apparent (taking weeks or months), discontinue use only under medical guidance. Frequent side effects can include tiredness, alopecia, skin rashes, nausea, and bowel irregularities. Palbociclib can lower blood cell counts, potentially increasing infection risk. Report any signs of infection (fever, chills, malaise), bleeding, or dizziness to your doctor. Dizziness may impair alertness; avoid driving or hazardous tasks if affected. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any pre-existing cardiac, hepatic, or renal issues, and list all current medications, including antibiotics, to your healthcare provider, as drug interactions are possible. This medication is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation; reliable contraception is crucial for both partners throughout the treatment period.
