Abemaciclib is a tablet that you take by mouth and it works as follows:-

Abemaciclib works by blocking specific proteins called cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) 4 and 6, which play a crucial role in cell division. By inhibiting these proteins, it stops cancer cells from progressing through the cell cycle, preventing their growth and spread. This targeted action helps to slow down or stop the growth of cancer cells.
