Ideenat 150mg Tablet

About

Ideenat 150mg Tablet is a targeted therapy medication, specifically a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), used in the treatment of certain types of cancer. It works by selectively blocking specific enzymes (tyrosine kinases) that are crucial for cancer cell growth, proliferation, and survival. By inhibiting these aberrant signaling pathways, Ideenat helps to prevent the uncontrolled division of cancer cells and can induce apoptosis (programmed cell death). This targeted approach offers a more precise way to combat cancer compared to traditional chemotherapy, often leading to improved efficacy and a different side effect profile. It is typically prescribed for specific cancers identified by molecular testing.
