Description

Acaluxen 100 mg Capsule contains Acalabrutinib, a targeted anticancer medicine used to treat certain blood cancers. It helps slow cancer cell growth and disease progression under oncologist supervision.

Benefits

How it Works

Acalabrutinib selectively inhibits Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) — a key enzyme required for malignant B-cell growth. By blocking BTK, the medicine disrupts cancer cell signaling and slows disease progression.
