Imatib 100mg is a prescription medicine used to treat several types of cancer. It is primarily used to treat blood cancers (chronic myeloid leukaemia and acute lymphocytic leukaemia) and gastrointestinal stromal tumours. The active ingredient in the medicine is Imatinib mesylate, which targets specific proteins involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells. This, in turn, helps slow or stop the progression of the disease. Imatinib can also be used to treat dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, a type of skin tumour, and aggressive systemic mastocytosis, a bone marrow condition. The Imatinib formulation is usually prescribed as part of a long-term treatment regimen under strict medical guidance.
Do not take Imatib 100mg if you are allergic to Imatinib or any of the non-medicinal ingredients in the formulation. You should avoid using this medication if you are breastfeeding. You must not breastfeed for 15 days before taking an Imatinib formulation and for 15 days after the last dose. The anticancer medication can enter breast milk and harm your baby. Speak to your healthcare specialist to understand the best way to feed your baby during treatment with Imatinib. Do not drink grapefruit juice at any time while using Imatib cancer medicine.

- If you are trying to have a baby, speak to your healthcare specialist. You may be advised not to use this anticancer medication while you are trying to have a child if you are already receiving Imatinib mesylate before you try to have a child. If you are already receiving Imatib 100mg, your healthcare professional may advise you to discontinue the anticancer medication before you try to have a child.

How to use ?

In general, the dose should be taken orally with a large glass of water and with food immediately after a meal to lower the possibility of gastrointestinal problems. Prescribed doses of 400 mg and 600 mg are to be consumed once daily, while 800 mg per day should be used as 400 mg twice daily. For those who have a problem swallowing, the tablet should be crushed and swallowed with water. The treatment should resume for as long as patients benefit from this medication.

It is always recommended to take the medicine at the same time every day for optimal effectiveness. The anticancer medication needs to be taken regularly without missing any doses, as missing doses or stopping treatment abruptly can reduce its effectiveness. You should keep taking the medication every day for as long as your healthcare specialist prescribes it to you.
