MSN NILOCAP 200MG CAP 4'S

About

Nilocap 200mg Capsule is used in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), a type of blood cancer. It is typically prescribed for patients whose condition has not responded to other leukaemia medications or for those who cannot tolerate them due to side effects.

This medicine should be taken on an empty stomach, ideally at the same time each day to ensure maximum benefit. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and frequency based on your specific condition, and this may be adjusted over time. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully, as incorrect use or overdose can lead to serious side effects. The benefits of Nilocap may take several weeks or months to become noticeable, so do not stop taking it unless advised by your doctor.

Common side effects include headache, nausea, abdominal pain, and skin rash. If you experience severe diarrhea, inform your doctor and ensure you stay well-hydrated. This medication may lower red and white blood cell counts, which can increase your risk of infections. Therefore, regular blood tests are necessary to monitor blood cell levels, as well as the health of your heart, liver, blood sugar, uric acid, and cholesterol levels.

Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have any heart, liver, or kidney issues, or if you are taking medication for infections. Nilocap can interact with many other drugs, so it’s essential that your healthcare provider is aware of all medications and supplements you are using.

This medicine is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Both men and women should use effective contraception during treatment to prevent pregnancy.
