Uses of IB-Tib Capsule
Benefits of IB-Tib Capsule
In Blood cancer (Chronic lymphocytic leukemia)
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a slow-growing blood cancer in which the bone marrow makes abnormal white blood cells that crowd out healthy cells and weaken the immune system. IB-Tib Capsule helps block signals that cancer cells need to grow and multiply, slowing disease progression and supporting healthier blood cell balance. This helps manage symptoms, maintain immune function, and improve quality of life.
In Mantle-cell lymphoma
Mantle-cell lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that affects lymph nodes and other parts of the lymphatic system. IB-Tib Capsule helps stop cancer cells from growing and spreading, allowing for better disease control. This can reduce symptoms, slow disease advancement, and extend periods without disease progression.
