Medical Description

Knilonat capsule is an anti-cancer medicine that contains nilotinib. Knilonat capsule belongs to a class of medicines called kinase inhibitors. It is used in the management of certain types of Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML)

BCR-ABL, an abnormal protein, is responsible for the uncontrolled growth of CML cells. Knilonat capsule works by blocking this BCR-ABL protein, thus stopping or slowing the growth of CML cells.

Knilonat capsule can affect the heart's electrical rhythm (causing a prolonged QT interval on an ECG) and may increase the risk of serious or life-threatening abnormal heart rhythms.. Attend all scheduled ECGs before and during treatment so that your doctor can monitor your heart health. Seek urgent medical care if you experience a fast and irregular heartbeat, or feel light-headed or faint. Your doctor will also check your blood levels of potassium and magnesium during treatment.

Take this medicine on a completely empty stomach with no food for at least 2 hours before each dose and at least 1 hour after.

Knilonat capsule can cause side effects like lowered blood cell counts, raising the risk of infection, bleeding, or anemia. It can also affect the liver and pancreas. Watch out for and report signs such as fever, infection, unusual bruising or bleeding, and sudden stomach pain with nausea or vomiting.

Before starting treatment, tell your doctor about medical conditions like heart problems, previous history of stroke, liver disease, pancreatitis, low potassium or magnesium levels. Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit products throughout treatment, as they can raise Knilonat capsule levels.

Use effective contraception after discussing with your doctor and avoid breastfeeding during Knilonat capsule treatment.

How does this medicine work?

Knilonat capsule belongs to a class of medicines called kinase inhibitors. It targets an abnormal protein called BCR-ABL.Knilonat capsule binds to BCR-ABL, stopping growth signals that stimulate cancer cells. Knilonat capsule thus reduces the number of leukaemia cells over time and helps slow the progression of CML.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Knilonat capsule can affect the heart's electrical rhythm by prolonging the QT interval. Taking it with other medicines that have the same effect may increase the risk of abnormal heart rhythms.

  • Rifampin and phenytoin may reduce the amount of Knilonat capsule in your body and make it less effective. These medicines should generally be avoided.
