Uses of Riborea Capsule
Benefits of Riborea Capsule
In Head and neck cancer
Head and neck cancer includes cancer of the mouth, nose, sinuses or throat. Riborea 500mg Capsule kills or stops the growth of cancer cells and also prevents the multiplication of cancer cells. It is a potent and very toxic medicine and you should discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. You should avoid drinking alcohol or smoking while having this treatment and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
In Sickle cell anemia
Sickle cell anemia is a disorder of the red blood cells (RBCs) in which they lose their original round shape and flexibility, turn sickle shape and eventually die out. Riborea 500mg Capsule makes your red blood cells bigger. It helps them stay rounder and more flexible and makes them less likely to turn into a sickle shape. The medicine does this by increasing a special kind of hemoglobin called hemoglobin F. Hemoglobin F is also called fetal hemoglobin because newborn babies have it. This helps to treat this disease and also prevents further complications that may be life-threatening.
Side effects of Riborea Capsule
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
Common side effects of Riborea
- Hematological disorder
- Gastrointestinal disorder
- Eating disorder
- Loss of appetite
How to use Riborea Capsule
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Riborea 500mg Capsule may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
How Riborea Capsule works
In cancer, Riborea 500mg Capsule works by blocking an enzyme (ribonucleotide reductase) which is required for synthesis of DNA. This prevents the cancer cells from growing and multiplying. In sickle cell disease, it works by increasing fetal haemoglobin (HbF) levels in red blood cells (RBCs). This helps the RBCs assume a normal shape, improves blood flow and protects against complications such as painful sickle cell episodes.
