What does it do?

Venetoclax is a drug belonging to the antineoplastic agent class, primarily used for the treatment of specific hematologic cancers such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia. This ingredient aims to eliminate cancer cells by inhibiting proteins that help the survival of cancer cells.

Venetoclax selectively blocks the BCL-2 protein, which inhibits apoptosis in cancer cells. This promotes the process of cancer cell self-destruction and suppresses cancer progression.
