Product Introduction
Myciclib 75mg capsule is a targeted anticancer therapy containing palbociclib, a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor. It is indicated for hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor 2 negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer, administered in combination with other anticancer medications.
Cancer involves uncontrolled and abnormal cell multiplication. Palbociclib works as a targeted inhibitor to address this process.
Common side effects associated with Myciclib 75mg capsule include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, tiredness, hair loss, dry skin, rash, infections, nose bleed, decreased appetite, low blood cell counts, swelling of lips and mouth, changes in taste, dry eye, blurred vision, and increased tearing. Inform your doctor if any of these side effects persist or cause concern.
Before commencing treatment, inform your healthcare provider of:
— any allergy to Myciclib 75mg capsule or its ingredients
— signs of infection such as fever, chills, or sore throat
— liver disorders
— kidney disorders
— intolerance to certain sugars
— all current medicines, including supplements and herbal preparations
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience dry cough, chest pain, or difficulty breathing, as these may indicate lung inflammation.
Use effective contraception during treatment and for at least three weeks following the final dose.
Myciclib 75mg capsule is not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
Uses

How it works
Myciclib 75mg capsule works by blocking the protein called cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6, which are vital for the division and growth of cells. By blocking these proteins, this medication slows the growth and prevents the cancer cells from spreading.
How to Use
Take Myciclib 75mg capsule exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Take this medication once a day at the same time with food. Swallow this capsule as a whole with a glass of water. Avoid crushing, breaking, or chewing the capsule.
Side Effects

Common Bleeding at the injection site Pain in chest Recurrent ischaemia (reduction in the blood supply) Heart failure Pulmonary oedema Low blood pressure Shortness of breath Burning sensation Bleeding in the digestive tract (blood vomiting), urinary tract, gums Abnormal heart function (arrhythmias)
Expert Tips
Before taking the medication, it's essential to discuss your medical history if you have a bleeding disorder, stomach or small intestine ulcers, enlarged blood vessels in the food pipes, or high blood pressure. The blood pressure of the patient should be monitored before administering the medicine to avoid complications caused by the drug. You can apply gentle pressure to avoid bleeding at the injection site.
