About Betatinib Capsule 30's

Betatinib Capsule 30's is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor or cancer growth inhibitor that is primarily used to treat people with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have had at least one prior treatment for their malignancy (cancer), as well as adults with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). Cancer is caused by a genetic mutation that causes our cells to divide uncontrollably and spread into neighbouring tissues.

Betatinib Capsule 30's contains Acalabrutinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Tyrosine kinases are enzymes in the body that transmit signals to cells, telling them to grow and divide. Acalabrutinib inhibits these signals to cancer cells. Cells die when their signals are disrupted. This could help to slow the progression of the cancer.

To treat your condition effectually, continue using Betatinib Capsule 30's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. The most common adverse reactions are anaemia (lack of blood), neutropenia (low count of neutrophils), upper respiratory tract infection, thrombocytopenia (Low platelet level), headache, diarrhoea, and musculoskeletal pain. You should talk to your doctor if you persistently experience these side effects.

It is recommended not to use if you are hypersensitive to any component present in Betatinib Capsule 30's and suffer from Severe Hepatic Impairment. Betatinib Capsule 30's can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. It is critical not to become pregnant or get pregnant while undergoing therapy and for several months after the treatment. Using effective contraceptive methods is recommended while on therapy with Betatinib Capsule 30's. Contact your doctor immediately if you or your partner becomes pregnant while undergoing therapy. Breastfeeding is usually not advised during this treatment. Alcohol should be avoided during treatment with this medicine. Safety and effectiveness in children have not been established.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Cancer: Cancer is a genetic change in which our cells divide uncontrollably and spread into surrounding tissues. There are two types of cancer: benign (localized) and metastatic (spread to the whole body). Types of cancer include blood, lung, breast, etc. Cancer growth can be prevented by chemotherapy, radiation, and stem cell therapy.

Mantle Cell lymphoma (MCL): Mantle Cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive, rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that arises from cells originating in the “mantle zone.” The mantle zone is the outer ring of small lymphocytes surrounding the centre of a lymphatic nodule.
