What is Imatib?
Imatib works by interfering with the action of certain proteins to help prevent cancer cells from spreading and to prevent them from multiplying. The active ingredient imatinib is an anticancer type of medication classified as a kinase inhibitor. It can be used to treat certain types of cancer such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors, leukemia and dermamtofibrosarcoma protuberans when the tumor cannot be removed surgically, has come back after surgery or has spread to other parts of the body.

How is Imatib used?
Imatib should be taken as directed by a doctor, usually once or twice per day. The tablets should be taken with a full glass of water along with a meal. Patients who cannot swallow the tablets whole, can dissolve the tablet in a glass of apple juice or water to be taken as a liquid. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage as it will depend on the patient's weight, condition and response to the therapy.
