Ribociclib is an oral tablet that is a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor. By selectively inhibiting CDK4/6 activity, it blocks the cell cycle from entering the S phase from G1 phase, thereby inhibiting the proliferation of tumor cells.

2. Hepatotoxicity : ALT/AST>3×ULN is permanently discontinued when accompanied by elevated bilirubin; in other cases, reduce the dose as needed.
3. QT interval prolongation : Suspend and downgrade the dose when QTcF>500ms; if accompanied by arrhythmia symptoms, permanently discontinue the drug.
1. Missed dose/vomiting : If you miss a dose or vomit after taking the medicine, there is no need to take a supplement. Take the medicine at the originally planned time next time.

There are no absolute contraindications, but the combined use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors/inducers and QT prolonging drugs should be avoided.
1. CYP3A4 inhibitor (such as ketoconazole): Avoid combined use. If combined use is necessary, reduce ribociclib to 400mg/day.
2. CYP3A4 substrate (such as midazolam): may increase its plasma concentration and the dose needs to be adjusted.
