Acalaside 100mg Capsule — a prescription-only medicine used in cancer treatment:

📌 What It Is

• Active ingredient: Acalabrutinib (100 mg) — a targeted cancer drug.

• Therapeutic class: Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (specifically a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase / BTK inhibitor).

• Form: Oral capsule taken by mouth.

💊 What It’s Used For

Acalaside 100 mg is used to treat certain blood cancers, including:

• Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL)

• Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)

• Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL)
  These cancers involve abnormal growth of specific white blood cells; Acalabrutinib helps slow or stop cancer cell growth by blocking the BTK protein that cancer cells depend on.

🧠 How It Works

Acalabrutinib inhibits Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), an enzyme that helps certain cancer cells survive and multiply. By blocking BTK, the medicine disrupts signaling pathways, reducing cancer cell growth and possibly shrinking tumors over time.

⚠️ Important Safety Information

• Prescription Only: This is a prescription cancer medication — a doctor should decide the dose and duration.

• Bleeding Risk: It may increase the risk of bleeding; tell your doctor if you’re on blood thinners or have bleeding issues.

• Monitoring Needed: Regular blood tests are usually required to check blood counts and organ function.

• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Not recommended — it may harm a fetus or pass into breast milk. Effective contraception is advised during treatment.
