OBRENZA 100 TABLET is a medicine used to manage certain types of ovarian, breast, uterine, prostate, and pancreatic cancers, especially in people with BRCA gene mutations. It helps slow down or stop cancer from growing and is often given after chemotherapy to reduce the risk of cancer coming back. Doctors prescribe it as a maintenance treatment to help keep cancer under control for a longer time.
This medicine works by blocking a protein called PARP, which cancer cells use to repair themselves. When PARP is blocked, cancer cells struggle to survive and eventually die, making the treatment more effective. Olaparib comes in tablet form and is usually taken twice a day, with or without food. It's important to swallow the tablets whole and take them at the same time every day. If you forget a dose, just take the next one as scheduled—do not take an extra tablet to make up for the missed dose.
Before starting OBRENZA 100 TABLET, tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, as this medicine can harm the baby. Women should use effective birth control during treatment and for some time after stopping the medicine.
OBRENZA 100 TABLET is not recommended for children and should be used with caution in people with liver or kidney problems. Some common side effects include feeling tired, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and low red blood cell levels (anemia), which may cause dizziness or weakness. If you experience severe side effects like breathing problems, fever, or signs of infection, contact your doctor immediately. Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully for safe and effective therapy.
