Bosutinib price list in 2024

Bosutinib (Bosutinib) is used to treat a certain type of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML; a cancer of the white blood cells), including adults who have recently been diagnosed with the disease and those who no longer benefit from other chronic myelogenous drugs or who cannot take them because of side effects. Bosutinib belongs to the kinase inhibitor class of drugs. It works by blocking the activity of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps stop the spread of cancer cells.

Bosutinib is available as an oral tablet. It is usually taken once daily with food. Take bosutinib at about the same time each day. Take bosutinib exactly as directed. Do not take more or less than prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablets whole; do not cut, chew, or crush them. If any tablets are broken or crushed, do not touch them with your hands. Doctors may temporarily or permanently stop treatment or adjust the bosutinib dose based on the patient's response to treatment and any side effects experienced. Continue taking bosutinib even if you feel well.
