- **4.2. Posology and method of administration**
The recommended dose of Ibrance is a 125 mg capsule taken orally once daily for 21 consecutive days followed by 7 days off treatment (Schedule 3/1) to comprise a complete cycle of 28 days.
When co-administered with palbociclib, the aromatase inhibitor should be administered according to the dose reported in the approved prescribing information.
When co-administered with palbociclib, the recommended dose of fulvestrant is 500 mg administered intramuscularly on Days 1, 15, 29, and once monthly thereafter. Please refer to the full prescribing information of fulvestrant.
Ibrance should be taken with food. Patients should be encouraged to take their dose at approximately the same time each day. Continue the treatment as long as the patient is deriving clinical benefit from therapy.
If the patient vomits or misses a dose, an additional dose should not be taken. The next prescribed dose should be taken at the usual time. Ibrance capsules should be swallowed whole (do not chew, crush, or open them prior to swallowing). No capsule should be ingested if it is broken, cracked, or otherwise not intact.
Prior to the start of, and throughout treatment, pre/perimenopausal women treated with the combination Ibrance plus aromatase inhibitor/fulvestrant should also be treated with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists according to local clinical practice.
For men treated with combination Ibrance plus aromatase inhibitor therapy, consider treatment with an LHRH agonist according to current clinical practice standards.
**Dose modifications**
Dose modification of Ibrance is recommended based on individual safety and tolerability.
