Xospata 40 mg Tablet 21's

Xospata 40 mg Tablet 21's belongs to the group of medicines called protein kinase inhibitors used to treat acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in adult patients who have relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) with an FLT3 mutation. Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer that begins in the bone marrow, the spongy tissue responsible for producing blood cells. It is characterized by the abnormal production of myeloid cells, which disrupt the development of healthy blood cells.

Xospata 40 mg Tablet 21's contains Gilteritinib, which inhibits the activity of the enzyme FLT3 (FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3). This enzyme is crucial for the growth and survival of certain cancer cells. By blocking the activity of FLT3, gilteritinib helps stop the growth and division of cancer cells, leading to their death. This targeted approach makes gilteritinib an effective treatment for AML patients with FLT3 mutations.
