WHAT TASIGNA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT TASIGNA IS
Tasigna is a medicine containing an active substance called nilotinib.
WHAT TASIGNA IS USED FOR
Tasigna is used to treat a type of leukaemia called Philadelphia
chromosome positive chronic myeloid
leukaemia (Ph-positive CML). CML is a cancer of the blood which makes
the body produce too many
abnormal white blood cells.
Tasigna is used in adult and paediatric patients with newly diagnosed
CML or in patients with CML
who are no longer benefiting from previous treatment including
imatinib. It is also used in adult and
paediatric patients who experienced serious side effects with previous
treatment and are not able to
continue taking it.
HOW TASIGNA WORKS
In patients with CML, a change in DNA (genetic material) triggers a
signal that tells the body to
produce abnormal white blood cells. Tasigna blocks this signal, and
thus stops the production of these
cells.

MONITORING DURING TASIGNA TREATMENT

treatment. These tests will monitor:
-
the amount of blood cells (white blood cells, red blood cells and
