Product Introduction
Venclexta 50mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Venetoclax. Venclexta 50mg Tablet is an antineoplastic drug belonging to the class of BCL-2 inhibitors. It is used to treat adults with certain types of blood cancers, including chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Specifically, it is indicated in CLL with a 17p deletion and in AML in patients who are unable to undergo intensive chemotherapy. Additionally, it may be used in combination with other medications to treat certain types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Venclexta 50mg Tablet works by inhibiting the BCL-2 protein, which promotes cancer cell death. This mechanism restores apoptosis (programmed cell death) by binding to BCL-2, displacing pro-apoptotic proteins, and initiating mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilisation, which triggers cell death. Do not take Venclexta 50mg Tablet if you are allergic to Venetoclax or any of the other ingredients in this medication. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, a history of infections, or any blood-related disorders such as low white blood cell count or low platelet count. Ensure that your physician is aware of any past history of Tumour Lysis Syndrome (TLS) or if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, as Venclexta may harm the fetus. Venclexta 50mg Tablet should not be used in children or adolescents under 18 years of age.

How it works
Venclexta 50mg Tablet works as a selective, orally bioavailable small-molecule inhibitor of BCL-2, an antiapoptotic protein. In CLL and AML cells, BCL-2 overexpression supports tumour cell survival and chemotherapy resistance by binding directly to BCL-2, Venclexta 50mg Tablet displaces pro-apoptotic proteins like BIM, triggering mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilisation and activating caspases. Nonclinical studies demonstrate venetoclaxâs cytotoxic effect on tumor cells overexpressing BCL-2.
