Product Introduction
Dasanat 50mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Dasatinib. It is prescribed for adults and children above one year of age with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). This medicine is used to treat newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia in the chronic phase and Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in patients resistant to other therapies. Dasanat 50mg is indicated mainly for treatment of blood cancers including chronic myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
