Imatib 100 Tablet 10 contains imatinib mesylate (100 mg), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• BCR-ABL Inhibition: Imatinib mesylate targets and inhibits a specific enzyme called BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase. This enzyme is produced due to a genetic abnormality known as the Philadelphia chromosome often found in leukemia cases. By inhibiting BCR-ABL, the medicine reduces the growth of leukemic cells and promotes their programmed death, known as apoptosis.

• c-kit Inhibition: Imatinib mesylate also inhibits another enzyme called the tyrosine kinase receptor c-kit. This enzyme plays a significant role in the development of gastrointestinal stromal tumours. By inhibiting this enzyme, the medicine helps manage the growth of such tumours.

• Store Imatib 100 Tablet 10 at room temperature.

• Keep the medicine in a tightly closed container, away from light and moisture.

• Never leave it within reach of children.

• Make sure to use this medication before its expiry date.

• As Imatib 100 Tablet 10 is used to manage seizures, ensure that you maintain a balanced diet rich in nutrients necessary for brain health, including omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and flaxseeds.

• Regular physical activity can help maintain overall well-being and manage stress levels, but it's crucial to avoid overexertion or activities with a high risk of falls or injuries due to the risk of seizures. Always consult your doctor regarding suitable exercise routines.
