Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Truqap, known generically as Capivasertib, is a type of medicine that targets specific proteins in the body to help fight cancer. It works by blocking certain signals that cancer cells use to grow and multiply. Truqap is mainly used to treat some types of breast cancer, especially those that have hormone receptors that are positive (HR-positive) and do not have too much of a protein called HER2 (HER2-negative). This medicine is particularly helpful for cancers with changes in specific genes, such as PIK3CA, AKT1, or PTEN.

Truqap is typically taken orally twice daily, around 12 hours apart, with or without food. It's important to take the medication at the same time every day. The regimen involves taking Truqap for 4 consecutive days, followed by a 3-day break each week. The tablets must be swallowed whole with water, not chewed, crushed, or split. The recommended dosage is typically 400 mg, but it's important to follow your healthcare provider's specific instructions.
Capivasertib is the active ingredient in Truqap.
Avoid taking this medication if you have a severe hypersensitivity or known severe allergic reaction to Capivasertib or any of its ingredients.
Truqap side effects include nausea, vomiting, and tiredness. Some people may also experience mouth sores or notice changes in their blood tests. These side effects are generally manageable and should be monitored by your healthcare provider.
Serious side effects from Truqap include high blood sugar levels, where symptoms can range from excessive thirst and dry mouth to confusion and a fruity odor on the breath. If you have diabetes, you’ll need close monitoring.
