How many boxes of Nilotinib should you take a month?

Nilotinib (Nilotinib) is only available by prescription, and treatment should be performed by a physician experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (Ph+CML). Nilotinib is usually a capsule, taken twice a day on an empty stomach.
