Generic Sprycel (Dasatinib)

What is Sprycel (Dasatinib)?
Sprycel® is the originator brand for dasatinib, developed by Bristol Myers Squibb. It is prescribed in the management of Philadelphia-chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, often when other therapy is unsuitable. It is a prescription-only specialist medicine.
How Dasatinib works
Dasatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets the BCR-ABL protein associated with certain leukemias, along with related signalling proteins. By blocking these signals it is used as part of a treatment plan directed by your haematologist.

Who Dasatinib is prescribed for
Dasatinib is prescribed for patients with specific Philadelphia-chromosome-positive leukemias, as determined by a haematologist based on diagnosis, prior treatment, and overall health.
Dosage & administration
Dasatinib is usually taken once daily, with or without food, at the same time each day; the dose depends on the condition and your response and is set by your haematologist. Tablets are swallowed whole and should not be crushed or split. The range of strengths allows the dose to be adjusted if side effects occur.
Dosage must be determined by a qualified healthcare provider. Do not change your dose or stop treatment without medical advice, and always follow the patient information leaflet supplied with your medicine.
Possible side effects
Reported side effects of dasatinib may include fluid retention (including, less commonly, fluid around the lungs), low blood cell counts, headache, diarrhoea, and rash. Your haematologist monitors blood counts and watches for fluid-related symptoms during treatment.
This is not a complete list. Read the patient information leaflet for full details and report any concerning or persistent symptoms to your healthcare provider promptly.
