What Is Imatinib Tablets IP 400 mg Used For?

Imatinib is an anticancer medicine used to treat specific cancers and blood-related conditions involving abnormal tyrosine kinase activity.

Doctors prescribe imatinib for selected patients with the following conditions:

1. Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML)

CML is a type of blood cancer associated with the Philadelphia chromosome and the BCR-ABL1 gene abnormality. Imatinib blocks the abnormal protein responsible for promoting uncontrolled growth of certain white blood cells.

2. Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumours (GIST)

GIST is a rare type of tumour that develops in the digestive tract. Some GISTs involve abnormal KIT or PDGFRA signalling. Imatinib can help control tumour growth in patients with eligible mutations and treatment indications.

3. Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL)

In certain patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive ALL, imatinib may be included in a specialist-directed combination treatment plan.

4. Other Specific Conditions

Depending on the indication and clinical guidelines, imatinib may also be prescribed for selected conditions such as certain myelodysplastic or myeloproliferative disorders and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.

The medicine is not suitable for every type of cancer. Treatment decisions depend on the diagnosis, molecular test results, disease stage, and the patient's overall health.

How Does Imatinib 400 mg Work?

Imatinib belongs to a group of medicines known as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

Tyrosine kinases are enzymes that help regulate important cellular activities, including cell growth, division, and survival. In certain cancers, abnormal tyrosine kinase proteins continuously send signals that encourage cells to multiply uncontrollably.

Imatinib works by blocking specific abnormal proteins, including:

• BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase

• KIT receptor tyrosine kinase

• Platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFR)

By inhibiting these proteins, imatinib helps reduce abnormal cell signalling and control the growth of cancer cells.

The medicine targets specific molecular pathways rather than acting like conventional chemotherapy. Its effectiveness depends on whether the patient's disease is driven by a protein that imatinib can inhibit.

Key Benefits of IMATIFLOW 400

Targeted treatment approach: Imatinib works on specific proteins involved in abnormal cell growth, making it a targeted treatment option for eligible cancers.

Helps control CML: It can help control the abnormal growth of blood cells associated with Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukaemia.

Treatment option for GIST: It is used in selected KIT-positive or otherwise imatinib-sensitive gastrointestinal stromal tumours.

Oral administration: Imatinib is available as an oral tablet, allowing patients to take their prescribed treatment without requiring an injection for each dose.

Established treatment option: Imatinib has an important role in the management of several specific cancers and blood disorders.

Treatment response varies between individuals. Regular medical consultations and laboratory investigations are essential throughout therapy.

Dosage and Administration Guidelines
