[IMATINIB PATIENT OVERVIEW — TO FILL]
Describe in plain language: what CML and GIST are; that imatinib is a targeted therapy (not traditional chemotherapy) that blocks a specific faulty protein driving the cancer; that it is taken as a daily oral tablet; that it is Rx-only; that a prescription must be provided at checkout.
[IMATINIB MECHANISM (PATIENT) — TO FILL]
Explain in plain language: leukaemia cells in CML are driven by a faulty protein (BCR-ABL). Imatinib fits into this protein like a key in a lock, blocking the signal that tells cells to keep growing abnormally.
[TO FILL — BCR-ABL fusion protein drives uncontrolled white cell growth in CML]
[TO FILL — Imatinib binds the BCR-ABL protein at its ATP-binding site, blocking its kinase activity]
[TO FILL — Without the BCR-ABL signal, CML cells stop dividing abnormally and begin to die]
[TO FILL — FDA-approved for all phases: chronic, accelerated, and blast crisis. Also Ph+ CML in newly diagnosed and in patients where interferon-alpha therapy has failed.]
[TO FILL — Kit (CD117)-positive unresectable and/or metastatic GIST; adjuvant treatment of Kit-positive GIST after complete resection.]
[TO FILL — In combination with chemotherapy for newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL.]
Only your oncologist can determine whether this medicine is right for your diagnosis. The above is for information only.
Your oncologist will prescribe your exact dose. The right dose for you depends on your weight, kidney and liver function, and — for some medicines — your genetic test results.
Always take exactly as prescribed. Do not change your dose or stop taking this medicine without speaking to your doctor first, even if you feel well.
Missed a dose? [TO FILL — Take on the same day if remembered. If next day, skip and continue normal schedule. Do not double-dose.]
With food? [TO FILL — Take with food and a large glass of water to minimise gastrointestinal side effects.]
Please read this section before taking Glivec 400 mg Tablets and discuss any concerns with your oncologist.
[TO FILL — Severe fluid retention including pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, pulmonary oedema, and ascites has been reported. Monitor weight regularly. Report sudden weight gain or swelling to your treatment team immediately.]
[TO FILL — Severe neutropenia and thrombocytopenia are common, particularly during the first few months. Regular blood count monitoring is essential. Contact your team immediately if you develop fever or bleeding.]
Side effects affect some people, not everyone. Most are manageable — let your treatment team know about anything that concerns you.
Taking Imatinib with certain other medicines can be dangerous. Always tell every doctor, dentist, and pharmacist about all medicines you are taking.
[TO FILL — May significantly increase imatinib plasma levels]
[TO FILL — May significantly decrease imatinib efficacy]
[TO FILL — Imatinib inhibits CYP2C9; may increase warfarin levels]
[TO FILL — Fetal harm has been demonstrated. Imatinib is teratogenic in animals at doses approximating clinical exposure. Use during pregnancy only if potential benefit justifies fetal risk.]
[TO FILL — Imatinib and its active metabolite (CGP74588) are present in human breast milk. Breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment.]
[TO FILL — Potential effects on male and female fertility. Discuss semen cryopreservation and egg/embryo freezing before starting treatment.]

[TO FILL — travel guidance for imatinib]
We understand that accessing the right cancer medicine can feel overwhelming. Here is what you can expect from us.
Every enquiry is reviewed by our oncology doctor and pharmacist team — not an automated system.
Sourced exclusively from WHO-GMP certified manufacturers. Every batch is traceable from origin to your door.
We verify every prescription with our internal medical team. No shortcuts, no exceptions.
Temperature-sensitive medicines shipped with appropriate packaging to maintain integrity.
No pharmacy branding or product name on the outer packaging.
Generic oncology medicines contain the same active ingredient as the originator brand — at a fraction of the cost.
[TO FILL — Explain targeted therapy vs traditional chemo: imatinib is a targeted TKI, not a traditional cytotoxic agent; it specifically blocks the BCR-ABL or c-Kit proteins driving the cancer, with a different side-effect profile from traditional chemo.]
[TO FILL — CML: typically indefinitely unless deep molecular remission (MR4 or MR4.5) is sustained and treatment-free remission (TFR) criteria are met under specialist supervision. GIST: duration varies. Oncologist determines.]
[TO FILL — Strong caution: do not stop without specialist supervision. Stopping in CML without meeting TFR criteria leads to molecular relapse in the majority of patients.]
[TO FILL — Same active ingredient: imatinib mesylate. Generic vs originator. Must meet same regulatory standard. Different price.]
[TO FILL — Same-day rule: take if remembered same day. Skip if next day. Never double-dose. Contact team if several doses missed.]
Our oncology support team will review your request and contact you within 24 hours with pricing and next steps.
