Mesylonib 100 Mg Tablet FC

What is Mesylonib 100 mg tablet FC

Mesylonib 100 mg film-coated tablets are effective for treating certain types of Blood Cancers, including acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) and chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). It also treats gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). It contains Imatinib Mesylate, which is classified as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Miracalus Pharma Pvt. Ltd. manufactures this medication.

Imatinib blocks a faulty protein called BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase, which causes uncontrolled Cancer cell growth. It also targets other proteins like PDGFR and c-Kit, which helps stop tumor growth. It blocks ATP (an energy source type) from activating these proteins to prevent the multiplication of Cancer cells. This inhibition triggers Cancer cell death, which does not affect normal cells.

Take Imatinib tablets orally. They are well absorbed in the body through this method, and most of the drug is processed by the liver. Take the exact dose and duration your doctor administers, as the dose depends on the patient's response and tolerability.

If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you recall. You can skip the missed Mesylonib dose if it is almost time for the next scheduled dose. Do not double the doses, as it can lead to an overdose, which requires a doctor’s assistance to resolve.

What are the benefits of Mesylonib 100 mg tablet

Imatinib Mesylate, present in this medicine, possesses anti-cancer properties. Cancer cells' abnormal growth happens due to a protein enzyme: bcr-abl tyrosine kinase. This medicine inhibits this enzyme and induces apoptosis (planned cell death) in Cancer cells. This helps to stop the cancerous growth of the cells.

The Mesylonib 100 mg benefits include:

• Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia treatment: Mesylonib is a BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor that reduces Leukemic cell growth.​
• Chronic Myeloid Leukemia therapy: Imatinib targets the BCR-ABL fusion protein in CML to decrease the rapid growth of Cancer cells.
• Treatment for Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST): It inhibits c-Kit tyrosine kinase to prevent tumor growth in GIST patients.
• Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative diseases (MDS/MPD): These are blood disorders with specific PDGFR gene changes. It blocks the activity of the altered PDGFR protein to stop the growth of these abnormal cells.
