Uses of Kixta Capsule
Benefits of Kixta Capsule
Breast cancer
Breast cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the breast grow uncontrollably and can spread to surrounding tissues or other parts of the body. Kixta 100mg Capsule helps slow the growth and division of cancer cells, allowing healthy cells more time to recover. This supports better disease control, helps manage symptoms, and can improve treatment outcomes when used as part of a prescribed cancer therapy plan.

How Kixta Capsule works
Kixta 100mg Capsule 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.
