Overview

Imatib (Imatinib Mesylate) 100 mg Tablets are used primarily in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), and other cancers. Imatinib works by blocking specific enzymes needed for the growth of cancerous cells, which helps to control and reduce cancer cell proliferation. It is a targeted therapy that is often prescribed when other treatments are not effective.

Key Benefits
  • Effective for CML: Imatib is commonly prescribed for patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in the chronic phase, significantly improving survival rates.
  • Treats GISTs: It's also effective for treating gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), particularly when surgical removal is not an option.
  • Blocks cancer cell growth: By targeting specific enzymes, it prevents the growth of cancerous cells, helping control the disease.
  • Improves quality of life: Helps in reducing symptoms associated with leukemia and tumors, leading to a better quality of life for patients.
How to Use
  • Dosage: The usual dose is one 100 mg tablet once daily, but the dose may vary depending on the patient's condition and doctor's instructions.
  • Administration: Take orally with a full glass of water. The tablet can be taken with or without food.
  • Frequency: Typically, it is prescribed to be taken once daily, but your healthcare provider will determine the exact dosage based on your medical condition.
  • Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and timing.
Dosage Information
  • Strength: 100 mg per tablet
  • Form: Oral tablet
  • Common Dosage: The usual starting dose is 400 mg/day, which can be adjusted based on the patient’s condition. However, some conditions may require a dose as low as 100 mg/day.
  • Duration of Treatment: The duration of treatment will depend on the type and stage of cancer, as well as the patient's response to therapy.
Safety Information
  • Bone marrow suppression: Imatib can lower blood cell counts, so regular blood tests are necessary to monitor bone marrow function.
  • Pregnancy Category D: Imatib should not be used during pregnancy, as it can harm the developing fetus.
  • Liver and kidney problems: Those with liver or kidney issues may require adjustments in the dosage.
  • Interactions with other medications: Inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking, as drug interactions can occur.
  • Bleeding and fluid retention: Be aware of symptoms such as unusual bleeding, fluid retention, or swelling, and report them to your doctor promptly.

  • Less common: Shortness of breath, skin rashes, and gastrointestinal issues
  • Call your doctor immediately if you experience signs of severe allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
