How Palcigen 125 works
Palcigen 125 is an anti-cancer medication. Cyclin dependent kinase 4 and 6 (chemical messengers) are downstream of signaling pathways which lead to the proliferation of cells. This medicine works by inhibiting cyclin dependent kinase 4 and 6, thus arrests the cancer cell cycle (cell growing process). It also targets the estrogen (hormone) receptor-positive breast cancer cells by disrupting the cell cycle.
Quick Tips
- Take it with food, preferably at the same time every day.
- If you forget to take the medicine or vomit, skip the missed dose and follow a regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up missed dose
- Use effective contraception method to prevent pregnancy while taking this medicine.
- It may cause dizziness. Avoid driving or any activity requiring mental focus until you know how it affects you.
- You may be asked for regular blood tests while taking this medication. Inform your doctor if you notice symptoms of infection like fever, chills, and weakness.
- Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Do not stop taking the medication without talking to your doctor first.

Mode of Action
Palbociclib is a reversible, selective inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4 and 6. Cyclin D1, CDK 4 and 6 are downstream of multiple signalling pathways which lead to cellular proliferation. Inhibition of CDK4/6 reduces proliferation of breast cancer cell lines by blocking progression from G1 into S phase of the cell cycle.
Precaution
Neutropenia observed in clinical trials; febrile neutropenia also reported; monitor CBC count prior to starting drug and at the beginning of each cycle, as well as on Day 14 of the first 2 cycles, and as clinically indicated; dose interruption, dose reduction, or delay in starting treatment cycles is recommended for patients who develop grade 3 or 4 neutropenia

Increased plasma concentration and systemic exposure with strong CYP3A inhibitors (e.g. clarithromycin, telithromycin, itraconazole, ketoconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole, indinavir, ritonavir, ritonavir-boosted lopinavir, nelfinavir, saquinavir, telaprevir, nefazodone, verapamil). Decreased plasma concentration with moderate CYP3A inducers (e.g. bosentan, efavirenz, etravirine, modafinil, nafcillin) or strong CYP3A inducers (e.g. carbamazepine, phenytoin, enzalutamide, rifampicin). May increase the plasma concentration of CYP3A substrates (e.g. ciclosporin, everolimus, sirolimus, tacrolimus, dihydroergotamine, ergotamine, fentanyl, pimozide, quinidine).
