How Ribociclib works

Ribociclib is a CDK4/6 inhibitor that blocks the enzymes driving cancer-cell division, slowing tumour growth alongside hormone therapy.

Usually 600 mg once daily for 21 days then 7 days off, in 28-day cycles, with hormone therapy, as the oncologist prescribes. Heart rhythm (ECG) and bloods are monitored.

Available strengths: 200 mg. Always follow your own doctor's instructions.

Side effects of Ribociclib

Common or notable side effects include:

  • Low white blood cells (neutropenia)
  • Nausea, fatigue
  • QT prolongation (heart rhythm) - monitored by ECG
  • Liver-enzyme changes

Kryxana from India vs Kisqali in the US

This is not a generic. Kisqali is Ribociclib, made by the originator, and what we supply is that same originator product sourced on the Indian market, where the manufacturer markets it as Kryxana. Same company, same medicine, different brand name for that market - sealed original packaging either way. There is no bioequivalence question to ask because there is no substitution: the medicine is the originator's own. For any eligible case, the proposed product and available documentation are confirmed in writing before a patient or caregiver makes a further decision.

How originator product information is assessed

Kisqali is still under patent in India, so no Indian generic exists and none is sold here. Whether an appropriate access route can be considered for Ghana depends on the prescription, current availability, documentation and destination requirements. Medrack.Health confirms only the details applicable to an individual eligible case.

Ordering Ribociclib for a parent or family member?

A son, daughter, spouse or another caregiver may start a request on behalf of the patient, including from another country. Enter the patient's name exactly as it appears on the prescription. The prescription should come from the patient’s treating clinician; we then assess whether an appropriate route may be available for Ghana.

How a Ribociclib access request is assessed for Ghana

Submit a request with the medicine, strength, patient details and destination. We assess the prescription status and whether an appropriate route may be available. If a case is eligible, the proposed medicine details, documentation, total cost and delivery options are confirmed in writing before you decide whether to proceed.

Medrack.Health is currently focused on Ghana and Kenya. It does not guarantee availability, import approval, customs clearance, delivery timing or supply from a public product page.

This medicine uses our assisted process: your request and prescription status are assessed before any possible next step is discussed.

Ribociclib - frequently asked questions

Is this real Kryxana, or a generic?

It is real Kryxana, made by Novartis. Ribociclib is still under patent in India, so no Indian generic exists - we supply the originator pack sourced on the Indian market, and share the batch number so you can verify it.
