How Imatinib (Gleevec) 400 mg Tablet Works

Gleevec tablets contain the active ingredient Imatinib Mesylate, which is an anti-cancer drug called tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Tyrosine kinases are a group of around 90 enzymes that cells use to signal to each other to grow. They act as chemical messengers. There are many types of kinases that control different phases of cell growth. Imatinib targets different tyrosine kinases, depending on the type of cancer. By targeting/blocking a particular enzyme from working, this medication can slow down the growth of cancer cells.

How to Take Glivec 400 mg

Glivec tablet is taken once or twice a day, depending on your condition. This may be adjusted based on mutation type, side effects, low plasma levels or upon progression. It is taken once a day if the dose is 400 mg. For a dose of 800 mg, take 400 mg tablets twice daily, in the morning and in the evening. In rare cases, patients taking less than 800 mg may be recommended to take Gleevec 400mg twice daily to decrease certain side effects.

It is important to make sure that you are taking the correct amount of medication every time. Take the prescribed dose by mouth with food and a large glass of water to minimize the risk of gastrointestinal irritations. If you find it difficult to swallow the pills, inform your doctor. They may suggest that you dissolve the tablet in a glass of water or apple juice.
