About Primcyv 125Mg Cap

Primcyv 125Mg Cap belongs to the group of anti-cancer drugs used to treat certain types of breast cancer. Cancer is the uninhibited and uncontrolled growth of cells in the body. Breast cancer is cancer that forms in the cells of the breast. It can form in the lobules, ducts or tubules of the breast or in the breast tissue itself.

Primcyv 125Mg Cap contains Palbociclib that works by blocking proteins necessary for cell growth, thereby causing cell death and arresting the uncontrolled production of new cells. Thus, Primcyv 125Mg Cap is effective in controlling cancer cells from multiplying and is used in the treatment of breast cancer. 

Take Primcyv 125Mg Cap as prescribed. In some cases, Primcyv 125Mg Cap may cause certain common side effects such as weakness, loss of appetite, infections and dry skin. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if these side effects persist or worsen. 

It is advisable to inform the doctor if you are allergic to any of its components. Do not take Primcyv 125Mg Cap if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Primcyv 125Mg Cap may cause tiredness, so drive only if you are alert. Primcyv 125Mg Cap is not recommended for use in children below 18years. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any interactions.

Directions for Use

Medicinal Benefits

Primcyv 125Mg Cap is an anti-cancer drug used in the treatment of a particular type of breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2-negative.

By blocking them, Primcyv 125Mg Cap nips cell growth in the bud and prevents cancer cells from spreading further. Thus, Primcyv 125Mg Cap helps treat breast cancer.

Here are the precise steps to cope with diarrhoea caused by medication usage:
  • Inform Your Doctor: Notify your doctor immediately about your diarrhoea symptoms. This allows them to adjust your medication or provide guidance on managing side effects.

  • Follow a Bland Diet: Eat easy-to-digest foods to help firm up your stool and settle your stomach. Try incorporating bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, plain crackers, and boiled vegetables into your diet.
  • Avoid Trigger Foods: Steer clear of foods that can worsen diarrhoea, such as spicy, fatty, or greasy foods, high-fibre foods, and dairy products (especially if you're lactose intolerant).

Disease/Condition Glossary

Breast Cancer: Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in breast cells. Breast cancer may form in lobules (glands that produce milk), ducts of the breast (the pathway that brings milk from glands to the nipple), in the fatty tissue or the fibrous connective tissue within the breast. The tumour cells invade other healthy breast cells and can travel to lymph nodes which are a primary pathway for the cancer cells to move to other parts of the body. Symptoms of breast cancer include a lump in the breast or tissue thickening which feels different than the normal surrounding tissues, breast pain, redness, swelling, nipple discharge other than breast milk, bloody discharge, unexplained change in shape, size or appearance of the breast, peeling, flaking or scaling of the skin, and a lump or swelling under the arm.
