Ibrutinib is used to treat Mantle Cell Lymphoma, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, and Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia. It’s a BTK inhibitor, by the way. It stops cancer cells from growing and surviving by blocking something called BTK signaling.
You can get Ibrutinib in 140 mg capsules or tablets. The usual dose is between 420 and 560 mg, and you take it once a day. Each bottle has 90 tablets in it.
Ibrutinib is a strong inhibitor of something called Bruton’s tyrosine kinase. It’s super important for B-cell signaling and helps cancer cells grow. You take Ibrutinib by mouth, which makes it super easy to keep up with your doses.
The capsules make sure you get the right amount of medicine each time. Your dose might change depending on how bad your disease is and how well you did on past treatments.
