Description

Imatib 400 Tablet is an anticancer medicine used in the treatment of certain types of cancer, including blood cancers, stomach cancer, and intestinal cancer. It contains imatinib as its active ingredient, which works by blocking the growth of cancer cells and slowing the progression of the disease. Your doctor will determine the correct dose and duration of treatment based on your condition and overall health.

This medicine may cause some side effects, including edema (swelling), nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle cramps, rash, fatigue, abdominal pain, and general discomfort. Most side effects are temporary; however, it is essential to notify your doctor immediately if you experience rapid weight gain, persistent fatigue, or unusual bruising and bleeding. Regular monitoring may be required to ensure the safe use of Imatib 400 Tablet.

Before starting treatment, inform your doctor about your complete medical history. This includes kidney, liver, or heart problems, thyroid disorders, or if you have had your thyroid gland removed. It is also important to mention any history of hepatitis B infection, as imatinib can reactivate the virus. Always disclose all medications, supplements, or herbal products you are taking to avoid possible drug interactions.

Imatib 400 Tablet should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. You can take it with or without food, but taking it with meals may help reduce stomach discomfort. Do not drive or operate machinery if you experience dizziness, drowsiness, or blurred vision after taking this medicine. Avoid self-medicating or changing your dose without consulting your healthcare provider.

Store Imatib 400 Tablet at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight, and keep it out of reach of children. Follow all instructions provided by your doctor and report any unusual symptoms promptly. Regular follow-up visits and laboratory tests are recommended to monitor your response to treatment and ensure safety throughout your therapy.
