Palladia - 10mg Palladia Tablets for Dogs - Per Tablet
10mg Palladia is a prescription medication used to treat mast cell tumours in dogs. Each tablet contains 10mg of toceranib phosphate, a targeted therapy designed to slow tumour growth and prevent the spread of cancer cells.
Palladia is the first veterinary-approved cancer treatment specifically developed for dogs. It is commonly prescribed for dogs with grade II or III mast cell tumours that have spread or cannot be surgically removed. This medication works by blocking signals that allow tumour cells to grow, helping to manage the progression of the disease.
How 10mg Palladia Works
Palladia contains toceranib phosphate, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that disrupts cancer cell growth. Tyrosine kinases are enzymes that regulate cell division and blood vessel formation. In mast cell tumours, these enzymes can become overactive, leading to uncontrolled tumour growth.
Palladia works by:
- Blocking tyrosine kinase activity, which prevents tumour cells from dividing and multiplying.
- Cutting off the blood supply to the tumour, restricting its ability to grow.
- Targeting cancerous cells while minimising damage to healthy tissue.
By interfering with these cancer growth mechanisms, Palladia helps slow the progression of mast cell tumours and may reduce their size over time. Some dogs experience tumour shrinkage, while others may see slowed disease progression.
