What is Kisqali (200 Mg Dose) ?

Kisqali (ribociclib) is a selective inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6), which are pivotal in the proliferation of cancer cells. It is indicated for the treatment of hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer, typically in combination with an aromatase inhibitor. Administered in a 200 mg dose, Kisqali is taken orally and plays a critical role in disrupting cell division and growth in specific breast cancer cells.
