Palbace 125 mg

Palbace ( known as IBRANCE in other parts of the world) or palbociclib by Pfizer is a cancer drug that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body.

Palbace is generally used in combination with letrozole or fulvestrant (Faslodex) for treating certain types of advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It is also given in combination with another cancer medicine, either letrozole (Femara) or fulvestrant (Faslodex).

Palbace is a renamed version of the drug Ibrance for the Indian market. It is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In clinical studies, palbociclib appeared to improve survival time of patients.

Tell your healthcare provider about all of the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. IBRANCE and other medicines may affect each other, causing side effects. Tell your healthcare provider if you start a new medicine.
Take IBRANCE exactly as your healthcare provider tells you.
Take IBRANCE capsules with food and swallow the capsules whole. Do not chew, crush, or open IBRANCE capsules before swallowing them. Do not take any IBRANCE capsules that are broken, cracked, or that look damaged. If you miss a day’s dose or vomit after taking a dose of IBRANCE, do not take an extra dose; just take your next dose at your regular time.
