Medicine OverView
Olparib 150mg Tablet contains Olaparib, a targeted anticancer medication belonging to the class of PARP (Poly ADP-Ribose Polymerase) inhibitors. It is designed to treat specific cancers by exploiting weaknesses in cancer cell DNA repair mechanisms.

This medicine is widely used in the treatment and maintenance therapy of ovarian, breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancers, offering a modern, precision-based treatment approach.
