Medical Description
Nelova capsule is an anti-cancer medicine that contains nilotinib. Nelova 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. Nelova capsule works by blocking this BCR-ABL protein, thus stopping or slowing the growth of CML cells.
Nelova 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.
Nelova 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 Nelova capsule levels.
Use effective contraception after discussing with your doctor and avoid breastfeeding during Nelova capsule treatment.

How does this medicine work?
Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
- Nelova 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.
- Ketoconazole and ritonavir may increase the amount of Nelova capsule in your body and raise the risk of side effects. These medicines should generally be avoided.
- Rifampin and phenytoin may reduce the amount of Nelova capsule in your body and make it less effective. These medicines should generally be avoided.
- Omeprazole and other proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may reduce the absorption of Nelova capsule and are generally not recommended. If you need treatment for acidity, your doctor can suggest a suitable alternative.
- Always tell your doctor about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products you take.
Interactions with food items
- Nelova capsule must be taken on an empty stomach.
- Food, especially a high-fat meal, substantially increases the amount of medicine absorbed, which raises the risk of serious heart-rhythm side effects.
- Avoid eating for at least 2 hours before and at least 1 hour after each dose.
- Avoid grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and grapefruit-containing supplements completely during treatment, as they raise Nelova capsule.
