Veenat 100 Capsule 10s

Veenat 100 Capsule 10s belongs to a class of drugs known as tyrosine kinase inhibitors and is commonly used for the treatment of certain cancers. Adhering to the prescribed dose and duration is vital for optimal outcomes.

It works by inhibiting specific proteins known as tyrosine kinases, which play a role in the growth of cancer cells. By blocking these proteins, Imatinib helps control the growth and division of cancer cells, contributing to the treatment of various cancers.

Patients can take it with or without food, but maintaining a consistent daily time is recommended for better results.

Its treatment may lead to various side effects, including oedema (swelling), fatigue, rash, fever, hair loss, insomnia (difficulty in sleeping), joint pain, muscle pain, weight gain, night sweats, itching, gastrointestinal toxicity, blood cell abnormalities, liver toxicity, and renal toxicity. While some of these side effects are common, any severe or persistent symptoms should be promptly reported to the healthcare provider.

Its treatment may lead to tumour lysis syndrome, especially in individuals with a high tumour burden. Monitoring and preventative measures should be implemented to manage this risk. Additionally, individuals experiencing severe or persistent musculoskeletal pain or cramps should seek medical attention.

If a dose is missed, patients should take it when remembered. However, doubling the dose should be avoided if the next scheduled dose is approaching. Consulting with the doctor for guidance on managing missed doses effectively is advisable.
