Introduction of Bracanat 150mg Capsule (Olaparib)

Bracanat 150mg Capsule contains Olaparib, a targeted therapy belonging to a class of medicines known as PARP (poly ADP-ribose polymerase) inhibitors. It is used for the treatment of certain types of cancers, including ovarian, breast, pancreatic, and prostate cancers, particularly in patients with BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations. Olaparib works by blocking the PARP enzyme, which cancer cells rely on to repair damaged DNA. By inhibiting this repair mechanism, the medicine causes cancer cells to accumulate damage and eventually die, while having a more selective effect on cancer cells compared to traditional chemotherapy.
