About

Tasigna 150mg Capsule is an antineoplastic medication containing the active ingredient Nilotinib. It belongs to a class of drugs called tyrosine kinase inhibitors and is used to treat Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML), a type of blood cancer characterized by the abnormal production of white blood cells. It is prescribed for both adults and pediatric patients who are newly diagnosed with CML or those who have experienced side effects or resistance to previous treatments, including Imatinib.

Do not use this medicine if you are allergic to Nilotinib or any of its components. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart issues such as heart attacks, abnormal heart rhythms, chest pain, stroke, or claudication (reduced blood flow in the legs). Also, disclose any liver or pancreatic disorders, electrolyte imbalances (low potassium or magnesium), or if you're taking medications to manage cholesterol. Notify your physician if you have a current or past hepatitis B infection, as Tasigna may reactivate the virus, which can be life-threatening. Avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice while on this medication. Let your doctor know if you are lactose intolerant, as this capsule contains lactose.

Throughout the treatment, your doctor may monitor your liver and pancreatic function, blood cell counts (WBCs, RBCs, platelets), heart health (including QT interval), electrolyte levels, and blood sugar and fat levels to ensure the medicine is well tolerated. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding. Effective contraception is recommended during the treatment with Tasigna 150mg.
