- Description
Olanib 50 mg (Olaparib INN) is an oral anticancer medicine containing 50 mg of olaparib per hard capsule. It belongs to the PARP inhibitor class and works by blocking PARP enzymes involved in DNA repair, making it particularly effective against certain cancers with BRCA or other DNA-repair deficiencies.
It is used, depending on the cancer type and genetic status, in conditions such as ovarian, breast, pancreatic, and prostate cancers. Treatment should be prescribed and monitored by an oncology specialist.
Note: The 50-mg capsule is a specific formulation; olaparib tablet and capsule formulations are not necessarily interchangeable milligram-for-milligram.
