About UNITINIB 400 CAPSULE 10'S

  • UNITINIB 400 CAPSULE 10'S contains the active ingredient imatinib, an antineoplastic drug belonging to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor class. It is prescribed for adults and children diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a leukemia type characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal white blood cells. Additionally, it's used in treating Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-positive ALL) and certain gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), which are tumors developing in the digestive tract walls with potential to spread.
  • UNITINIB 400 CAPSULE 10'S is also indicated for myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative diseases (MDS/MPD), a group of blood disorders causing uncontrolled growth of blood cells.

Moreover, this medication treats dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), a skin tissue cancer marked by abnormal cell growth. Imatinib functions by inhibiting the proliferation of these abnormal blood cells, effectively targeting the root cause of these conditions.
  • Before starting treatment with UNITINIB 400 CAPSULE 10'S, inform your doctor if you have a known allergy to imatinib or any other ingredients in the medication. Disclose any existing kidney, heart, liver, or thyroid problems, including if your thyroid gland has been removed. If you have a history of hepatitis B infection, notify your doctor, as this medication can reactivate the virus. Report any symptoms of bruising, bleeding, fever, fatigue, or confusion while taking this medicine. Be aware that this medicine may potentially impact fertility.
  • Regular monitoring by your healthcare provider is crucial while on UNITINIB 400 CAPSULE 10'S to assess the drug's effectiveness and watch out for any potential side effects.

Benefits of UNITINIB 400 CAPSULE 10'SArrow

  • UNITINIB 400 CAPSULE 10'S is a targeted cancer therapy that works by inhibiting specific enzymes called protein-tyrosine kinases. These kinases play a crucial role in cell signaling pathways that control cell growth and division. In certain types of cancer, these kinases become abnormally active due to genetic mutations, leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation.
  • This medication specifically targets and blocks the abnormal protein created by a chromosomal abnormality which essentially cuts off the signals that tell cancer cells to multiply and grow. By blocking this signal, UNITINIB 400 CAPSULE 10'S effectively halts the progression of the cancer.
  • Furthermore, UNITINIB 400 CAPSULE 10'S not only inhibits the multiplication of abnormal cancer cells but also actively induces cell death in these cells. This dual action helps to shrink tumors and prevent the cancer from spreading.
  • It is important to note that UNITINIB 400 CAPSULE 10'S is a prescription medication and should only be used under the guidance of a qualified oncologist. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the specific type and stage of cancer, as well as the patient's overall health and response to treatment.

  • It is crucial to take the tablets exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. Avoid breaking, crushing, or chewing the tablets, as this can affect how the medication is absorbed and works in your body. Swallow each tablet whole with a full glass of water.
  • To minimize the risk of stomach upset or other gastrointestinal issues, it is generally recommended to take this medicine with a meal. Food can help buffer the medication and reduce irritation to the stomach lining.
  • If you experience difficulty swallowing the tablets whole, consult your doctor for alternative options. In some cases, they may advise dissolving the tablets in water or another liquid. Follow their specific instructions carefully to ensure proper administration and effectiveness.
