Treating chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome–positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) requires precise dosing of targeted therapy. Dasanat 50 Mg contains 50 mg of dasatinib, offering a versatile mid‑strength option for patients who need a balance between efficacy and tolerability. Dasatinib inhibits the BCR‑ABL fusion protein and a spectrum of other tyrosine kinases, disrupting aberrant signaling pathways that drive leukemic cell proliferation. It may be used in chronic phase CML, accelerated or blast phase CML, or relapsed/refractory Ph+ ALL, particularly in patients who are resistant or intolerant to first‑generation inhibitors or who require dose adjustments due to side effects.
Dosage regimens vary depending on disease stage and patient factors; 50 mg once or twice daily may be prescribed, sometimes in combination with other agents. Take Dasanat 50 mg at the same time each day, with or without food, swallowing the tablet whole. Avoid grapefruit juice and St. John’s wort, as they can alter drug metabolism. Because many medications—including azole antifungals, protease inhibitors, macrolide antibiotics, antacids and anticoagulants—interact with dasatinib, inform your healthcare provider of everything you take. Do not alter your dosage without medical advice.
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, muscle cramps, rash and fluid retention (ankle edema or pleural effusion). Dasatinib may cause myelosuppression, leading to low blood cell counts; regular blood tests are essential. Serious but less frequent adverse effects include pulmonary arterial hypertension, QT interval prolongation, hemorrhage, infections, liver or kidney dysfunction and allergic reactions. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest tightness, persistent cough, shortness of breath, palpitations or unusual bleeding or bruising.
Dasanat 50 mg should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding because it may harm the fetus or infant. Use effective contraception during treatment and for a period after stopping therapy. Individuals with pre‑existing cardiac disease, uncontrolled hypertension, bleeding disorders or hepatic impairment require close monitoring and possible dose adjustments. Only take this medication under the supervision of an experienced oncologist. With appropriate dosing and ongoing monitoring, Dasanat 50 mg can help control CML and Ph+ ALL while managing side effects.
