Imat 400 Tablet contains Imatinib mesylate 400 mg, a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor used primarily in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), and other malignancies characterized by specific genetic mutations. Imatinib mesylate functions by inhibiting the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase enzyme, which is responsible for the uncontrolled proliferation of leukemic cells in CML. Additionally, it targets other tyrosine kinases such as c-KIT and PDGF receptors, contributing to its efficacy in GIST and other tumors. Imat 400 is indicated for adult and pediatric patients diagnosed with Philadelphia chromosome-positive CML in chronic, accelerated, or blast phases, as well as for unresectable and/or metastatic malignant GISTs. The tablet should be administered orally, with or without food, as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Common adverse effects include edema, nausea, muscle cramps, rash, and fatigue, while serious side effects may involve myelosuppression, hepatotoxicity, and cardiotoxicity, necessitating regular monitoring of blood counts, liver function, and cardiac status during therapy. Imat 400 should be used under strict medical supervision, with dose adjustments based on therapeutic response and tolerability. It is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Imatinib or its excipients.
