Description
Imat 400 Tablet
Imat 400 Tablet has a wide range of cancer treatments available. Blood malignancies (such as chronic myeloid leukemia and acute lymphocytic leukemia) and stromal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract are the most common indications for its prescription. The process is effective because it focuses in on particular proteins that fuel cancer cell proliferation and metastasis.
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, a skin tumor, and aggressive systemic mastocytosis, a bone marrow disorder, are two other conditions that Imat 400 Tablet is used to treat. For optimal results, take the medication alongside a meal. Make sure you take it at the same time every day for the best results. Take it for the whole duration recommended by your doctor. Your treatment length will be determined by your specific needs and how well you respond to the treatment. Serious adverse effects might occur if taken incorrectly or in excess. You shouldn’t stop taking it unless your doctor advises you to, even if the advantages might not be noticeable for a while.
Edema, nausea, vomiting, cramping in the muscles and skeletal muscles, diarrhea, rash, exhaustion, and stomach discomfort are among the most often reported adverse effects of this medication. If your weight increases suddenly and unexpectedly, you should consult your doctor. While using this medication, your doctor may recommend checking your liver function and blood cell counts on a frequent basis. If you feel lightheaded or have hazy vision, you should not drive or perform anything else that requires you to concentrate mentally.
Make sure your healthcare team is aware of all the medications you are taking, as this medicine can interact with or be affected by many others. Neither pregnancy nor breastfeeding should be undertaken while using this medication. It is crucial that both sexes take efficient contraception during treatment in order to prevent conception.

In Treatment of Cancer
Imat 400 Tablet aims to inhibit the spread and proliferation of cancer cells in a number of different cancer types, including those of the blood, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, skin (dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans), and bone marrow (aggressive systemic mastocytosis).
