WHAT FULVESTRANT ZENTIVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Fulvestrant Zentiva contains the active substance fulvestrant, which
belongs to the group of estrogen
blockers. Estrogens, a type of female sex hormones, can in some cases
be involved in the growth of
breast cancer.
Fulvestrant Zentiva
is used either:
-
Alone, to treat postmenopausal women with a type of breast cancer
called estrogen receptor positive
breast cancer that is locally advanced or has spread to other parts of
the body (metastatic), or
-
In combination with palbociclib to treat women with a type of breast
cancer called hormone
receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative
breast cancer, that is locally
advanced or has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). Women
who have not reached
menopause will also be treated with a medicine called a luteinizing
hormone releasing hormone
(LHRH) agonist.
When Fulvestrant Zentiva is given in combination with palbociclib, it
is important that you also read the
