Description

Dasatinib is used to treat different types of leukemia. Leukemia is a type of cancer where the body makes too many abnormal white blood cells. It belongs to the general group of medicines known as antineoplastics or cancer medicines.

Dasatinib interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Since the growth of normal cells may also be affected by dasatinib, other effects will also occur. Some of these may be serious and must be reported to your doctor. Other effects may not be serious but may cause concern.

Before you begin treatment with dasatinib, you and your doctor should talk about the benefits this medicine will do as well as the possible risks of using it.

This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.

This product is available in the following dosage forms:

• Tablet
