Knilonat 150 Capsule 10's belongs to the class of anticancer drugs called tyrosine kinase inhibitors used in the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML). Ph+ CML is a type of blood cancer that causes white blood cells to behave differently.
Knilonat 150 Capsule 10's contains Nilotinib which works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein (Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase) produced by an abnormal Philadelphia chromosome that signals abnormal white blood cells (cancerous cells) to multiply. Thereby, it stops the multiplication and inhibits the growth of cancerous cells and then causes the death of these cells.

Knilonat 150 Capsule 10's 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 150 Capsule 10's 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.
If you are allergic to Nilotinib or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Avoid taking Knilonat 150 Capsule 10's if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Regular tests are recommended during treatment with Knilonat 150 Capsule 10's:
Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML): It is a common form of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) that occurs when specific chromosomes swap positions, causing an abnormality in the chromosomes, 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. CML is a type of blood cancer which makes the body produce too many abnormal white blood cells. Many people with Ph+ CML will not experience symptoms before their diagnosis. However, if symptoms do occur, they include weight loss, weakness, night sweats, extreme tiredness, feeling full after only small meals, bone pain, and easy bleeding.
