Mistaurin Capsule 4's

Your doctor may prescribe Mistaurin Capsule to treat the following conditions and help control the growth of abnormal cells:

• Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML): Used in combination with chemotherapy to treat newly diagnosed AML in adults whose cancer cells have a specific abnormal gene mutation (FLT3). It helps by blocking the signals that tell these leukemia cells to grow.
• Advanced Systemic Mastocytosis (ASM): Helps manage this rare disorder where too many mast cells (a type of immune cell) build up in the body's tissues. It blocks the abnormal proteins that cause these cells to multiply excessively.
• Systemic Mastocytosis with Associated Hematological Neoplasm (SM-AHN): Helps reduce the number of abnormal mast cells and controls the symptoms caused by the co-existing blood disorder.
• Mast Cell Leukemia (MCL): Helps slow down the rapid progression of this highly aggressive form of mast cell cancer by stopping the division of cancerous mast cells.

Using Mistaurin Capsule as prescribed helps control the growth of abnormal cells and improve treatment outcomes. Here are the key benefits you can expect:

• Slows cancer progression: By targeting the specific root causes of cancer cell growth, Mistaurin Capsule helps slow down or halt the spread of abnormal cells in the blood and bone marrow. This can lead to a period of disease stability.
• Enhances chemotherapy success: When used alongside standard chemotherapy for AML, it works in tandem to increase the likelihood of clearing cancer cells from the body, helping patients achieve better treatment outcomes.
• Relieves mast cell symptoms: For people with systemic mastocytosis, Mistaurin Capsule helps reduce the severe symptoms caused by mast cell buildup, such as organ damage, severe skin flushing, and digestive issues, leading to improved daily comfort.

• Recommended to take Mistaurin Capsule with food to prevent stomach upset.
• Recommended to take twice daily or as advised by your doctor.
• Swallow the medicine as a whole with a glass of water.
• Do not crush, break, or chew it.

• Manage nausea with food timing: Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day instead of three large ones. Take Mistaurin Capsule with these small meals to protect your stomach.
• Stay well-hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water or clear broths, to prevent dehydration, especially if you experience vomiting or diarrhoea. Avoid caffeinated or sugary drinks, which can worsen diarrhoea.
• Protect yourself from infections: Because this medicine can lower your white blood cell count, practice strict hand hygiene, avoid close contact with sick individuals, and wash fresh produce thoroughly before eating.
• Avoid certain foods: Do not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while taking this medication. Grapefruit can increase the level of Mistaurin Capsule in your blood to unsafe levels, raising the risk of serious side effects.

• Inspect your capsules before taking: Check the blister pack and capsules before each dose; do not take any capsule that is broken, leaking, or looks damaged.
• Monitor your body temperature: Keep a reliable thermometer at home and check your temperature if you feel unwell. A fever during cancer treatment is a medical emergency that requires immediate contact with your doctor.
• Use effective birth control: Both men and women taking Mistaurin Capsule should use highly effective birth control during treatment and for at least 4 months after the last dose to prevent pregnancy.
• Check your heart health: Keep all appointments for blood tests and heart monitoring (such as ECGs), as this medication can affect your heart rhythm.
• Avoid sun exposure: This medicine can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Wear protective clothing and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen when outdoors.
