Dasatrue 70mg (Dasatinib)

DESCRIPTION

Dasatrue    is a second-generation receptor Tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Which binds to Abl with less stringent conformational needed so it exhibits increased effectiveness compared to Imatinib even though with less selectivity. Unlike most RTK inhibitors,
Dasatrue    linked the active conformation of Bcr-Abl. Is required to treat patients with some Imatinib resistant forms of CML
Dasatrue    which used as prescription drug under the guidance of doctor.

INDICATION

Severe, increased, or myeloid or lymphoid blast phase Ph+ CML with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy including imatinib.

Dasatrue    is used for the treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia: Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy

DRUG INTERACTION

Dasatrue    concomitant use with CYP3A4 inhibitors will have high Dasatinib plasma concentration.

Dasatrue    concomitant use with CYP3A4 inducers will lowers Dasatinib plasma concentration.

Dasatrue    concomitant use with antacids will lower Dasatinib plasma concentration.

Dasatrue    concomitant use with H2 antagonists/proton pump inhibitors will lowers Dasatinib plasma concentration.

Dasatrue    concomitant use with CYP3A4 substrates will have their plasma concentration changed by Dasatinib.
