Imat 100 mg Tablet

Imat 100 mg Tablet (Imatinib Mesylate) is a medication used in the treatment of certain cancers including Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML), Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in the presence of the Philadelphia chromosome, and Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST). It is a type of cancer therapy called ‘targeted therapy’.

How It Works?

Imatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). It acts by blocking the signal protein that is abnormally fused to other cell parts (e.g. BCR-ABL or c-KIT) that transmit signals to cancer cells and tell them to multiply. By selectively blocking these signaling pathways, Imat 100 mg inhibits the proliferation of abnormal cells, thus promoting ‘programmed’ cell death (i.e. apoptosis). Healthy normal cells surrounding the abnormal cells are not heavily affected.

Usage and Administration

The dosage varies depending on the patient, disease stage, and the condition treated. Always strictly follow your oncologist’s prescribed dosage schedule.

The oncologist will prescribe the medication, and you will take it orally with a meal and large glass of water. Taking it with food can help with gastrointestinal discomfort.

It is recommended to take the medication at the same time every day, to help maintain a steady concentration in the bloodstream.

Higher Strength Variant

Imat 400 mg Tablet (Zydus Cadila) — Higher strength single-dose tablet used for higher daily maintenance schedules.

Important Precautions & Monitoring

Patients need to have their CBCs and liver function tests done periodically to evaluate for blood dyscrasias or liver strain. Imat 100 mg has the potential to cause harm to the fetus. Effective birth control is mandatory during treatment. Breastfeeding should be stopped while taking this medication. Imatinib can interact with other medications, OTC medications, Anticoagulants, and CYP3A4 inhibitors. Discuss with your doctor or pharmacist before taking other medications.
