Date of Approval

Ribociclib is an anticancer medication containing the active ingredient ribociclib. Cancer is a condition in which cells multiply uncontrolled and abnormally. It is used in women to treat a type of breast cancer (hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer) that is locally advanced or has spread to other parts of the body.  This medication is given in combination with other medications. It can also be used to treat endometrial cancer in combination with other drugs. It works by inhibiting the activity of certain proteins, which regulate cell growth and division. By blocking these proteins, it can slow down or stop the growth of cancer cells. It is not recommended for adolescents and children under 18 years of age.

Ribociclib was developed by Novartis Pharmaceuticals and was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 13 March 2017. It was initially approved for use in combination with an aromatase inhibitor as initial endocrine-based therapy for postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced, or metastatic breast cancer. Before taking this medication, it is vital to inform your doctor if you have any signs of infections (fever, mouth ulcers, or sore throat), liver disorders, heart disorders, or if you are allergic to peanut or soya.  You should not drink grapefruit juice or eat grapefruits during the treatment with this tablet.  It should not be used in persons with a known hypersensitivity or allergy to Kryxana 200 mg Tablet or any of its components.

Mechanism of Action of Ribociclib

Ribociclib works by inhibiting the activity of two proteins called CDK4 and CDK6, which regulate cell growth and division. By blocking these proteins, Ribociclib can slow down or stop the growth of cancer cells.

Uses of Ribociclib
