Description
Product Introduction
Chemotinib 400mg Tablet is an anti-cancer medication primarily used for the treatment of several types of cancer, including blood cancers such as chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). It works by targeting and inhibiting specific proteins that promote the growth and spread of cancer cells, thereby slowing down or halting the progression of the disease.
In addition to these cancers, Chemotinib 400mg Tablet is also used to treat dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, a rare skin tumor, and aggressive systemic mastocytosis, a condition affecting the bone marrow. The medicine is usually taken with food, and it is essential to take it regularly at the same time each day for optimal results. The treatment duration may vary based on the individual’s response to the medication and the type of cancer being treated.

Benefits of Chemotinib 400mg Tablet
In Cancer Treatment:
- Chemotinib 400mg Tablet targets and inhibits specific proteins, including the bcr-abl tyrosine kinase enzyme, which is responsible for the abnormal proliferation of cancer cells.
- By blocking this protein, the tablet stops or slows down the growth of cancer cells, which helps shrink tumors, reduce their spread, and alleviate symptoms associated with cancer.
- It induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancerous cells, ultimately helping to control the disease and improve the patient’s quality of life.

How Chemotinib 400mg Tablet Works
Chemotinib contains Imatinib mesylate (400mg), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It works by targeting the bcr-abl protein, a protein enzyme that is responsible for the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells in certain types of leukemia and tumors. By inhibiting this enzyme, Chemotinib 400mg Tablet helps control the growth and spread of cancer cells, reduces tumor size, and prevents further disease progression.
