Verzenio - Abemaciclib

What is Verzenio?

Verzenio (Abemaciclib) is a prescription medication used to treat a certain type of breast cancer (HR+/HER- breast cancer) that has spread to other parts of the body. It is taken alone or in combination with an aromatase inhibitor drug or with the anti-estrogen drug fulvestrant (Faslodex).

Verzenio is a "CDK4&6 inhibitor" medication. It works by disrupting CDK4&6 proteins, which cause breast cancer cells to rapidly grow and divide.
