Uses

Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML)

Medicinal Benefits

Knilonat 200 Capsule contains Nilotinib, an anticancer drug used to treat Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML). In chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients, a change in genetic material (DNA) triggers a signal that tells the body to produce more abnormal white blood cells (cancerous cells). Nilotinib works by blocking this signal and thus stops the production of cancerous cells. Knilonat 200 Capsule is used in adults and children with newly diagnosed Ph+ CML in the chronic phase and in adults with Ph+ CML in the accelerated and chronic phase who did not tolerate or no longer benefit from other treatments, including Imatinib.
