It causes excessive production of immature white blood cells by the bone marrow and reduces the body’s ability to fight infections. There are different types of blood cancers. Dasashil 70 mg Tablet 60's is used in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in patients with chronic, accelerated, or blast phase Ph+ (Philadelphia chromosome-positive) who are resistant or intolerant to prior therapy, in patients with newly diagnosed chronic Ph+ chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). This medicine is also used in the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Dasashil 70 mg Tablet 60's contains Dasatinib, which belongs to the class of kinase inhibitors. It works by inhibiting the action of abnormal proteins that cause the multiplication of cancerous cells. This helps stop the abnormal growth of cancer cells and thus reduce the further spread to other parts of the body.

Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia: Leukemia, also known as blood cancer, is a cancer of blood cells or blood-forming tissues. It causes excessive production of immature white blood cells by the bone marrow and reduces the body’s ability to fight infections. Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia is a type of blood cancer that originates in the myeloid cells or stem cells in your bone marrow. Ph+ chronic myeloid leukemia is a common form of CML that occurs when specific chromosomes swap position. This causes a chromosome abnormality, creating the Philadelphia chromosome. The abnormal chromosomes produce an abnormal protein called Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase, which then triggers a signal to produce abnormal white blood cells in the bone marrow. Symptoms may include fatigue, fever, weight loss, and loss of appetite.

Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL): ALL is a type of blood cancer that primarily affects your blood and bone marrow. It mainly targets the white blood cells which can interfere with your body’s ability to combat infections. Ph+ Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia is a form of ALL that occurs when specific chromosomes swap position. This causes a chromosome abnormality, creating the Philadelphia chromosome. The abnormal chromosomes produce a BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase protein, which triggers a signal to produce abnormal white blood cells in the bone marrow. Symptoms may include fever, weight loss, abnormal blood cell count, bruising, and loss of appetite.
