Nilotinib

Uses

Nilotinib is used in the treatment of blood cancer, specifically chronic myeloid leukaemia. It is prescribed for patients whose disease cannot be managed with other medications for leukaemia or who are unable to tolerate these medications due to side effects.

How it Works

Nilotinib is an anti-cancer medication that works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein responsible for signaling cancer cells to multiply. This mechanism helps to stop or slow the spread of cancer cells.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Nilotinib include headache, nausea, abdominal pain, rash, itching, hair loss, muscle pain, and fatigue.
