Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

Ibrukem Capsule is used in the treatment of Mantle cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, and Waldenstramps macro globulinaemia. The detailed uses of Ibrukem Capsule are as follows:

  • Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL): Ibrukem Capsule is used in adults who have received at least one prior therapy. It helps slow the progression of this aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
  • Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL):Ibrukem Capsule is used for patients with CLL, including those with the 17p deletion, a genetic mutation associated with poor prognosis.
  • Waldenstramps macro globulinemia (WM): Ibrukem Capsule is also used to treat this rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that affects B cells and leads to abnormal protein build up in the blood.

Medicinal Benefits

Ibrukem Capsule belongs to the group of anti-cancer medicines called protein kinase inhibitors used to treat the following blood cancers in adults- mantle cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, and waldenström's macroglobulinaemia. This medicine may also be used to treat marginal zone lymphoma (cancer that begins in a type of white blood cells that normally fights infection) and chronic graft vs host disease (a complication of hematopoietic stem-cell transplant). Ibrukem Capsule contains Ibrutinib, which works by blocking Bruton's tyrosine kinase (a protein in the body that helps cancer cells grow and survive). Thereby, it kills and reduces the number of cancer cells. It also slows down the worsening of cancer.
