Product Introduction

Ibrumed 140mg Capsule contains the active ingredient ibrutinib. It is indicated for treatment of blood cancers including mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), Waldenström macroglobulinaemia, and marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). These are cancers of white blood cells called lymphocytes, which form part of the immune system. They differ from each other based on the location where cancer occurs, the type of lymphocytes affected, and certain other factors. Ibrumed 140mg Capsule is also used to treat chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) following failure of systemic therapy. During allogeneic stem cell transplantation, patients receive stem cells from a donor. GVHD occurs when donor cells recognise the patient's cells as foreign and attack them. Before taking this medicine, you should discuss with your physician if you have bleeding disorders, infection, liver problems, heart problems, or intolerance to certain sugars. This medication is not recommended for adolescents and children. It is important to inform your physician if you have recently undergone or are scheduled to undergo any surgical procedure. Your physician may discontinue Ibrumed 140mg Capsule for any planned surgical or medical procedure. Use effective birth control during treatment and for at least one month after the final dose. Avoid grapefruit or oranges in any form during this treatment, as they may increase the amount of drug in the blood. Drink adequate fluid to prevent dehydration. Inform your physician if you experience diarrhoea that does not resolve.

Uses

How it works

The mechanism of action of Ibrumed 140 mg involves blocking a specific protein called Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) which plays a key role in the survival and growth of cancer cells. By inhibiting BTK, Ibrumed 140 mg prevents the cancer cells from receiving the signals they need to grow and divide, leading to their eventual death.

How to Use

Consume this medicine at the same time each day. While taking Ibrumed 140 mg capsule, do not consume grapefruit or orange in any form during the treatment. Drink plenty of fluid to prevent dehydration.

Expert Tips
