How Palnat Capsule works
Palnat 125 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.
