WHAT IBRANCE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
IBRANCE is an anticancer medicine containing the active substance
palbociclib.
Palbociclib works by blocking proteins called cyclin-dependent kinase
4 and 6, which regulate cell
growth and division. Blocking these proteins can slow down growth of
cancer cells and delay the
progression of your cancer.
IBRANCE is used to treat patients with certain types of breast cancer
(hormone receptor-positive,
human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative) which have spread
beyond the original tumour
and/or to other organs. It is given together with aromatase inhibitors
or fulvestrant, which are used as
hormonal anticancer therapies.

this medicine (listed in
section 6).
-

used to treat mild depression
and anxiety, should be avoided while you are taking IBRANCE.
