Ponatinix Tablet 15 mg contains Ponatinib Hydrochloride, a targeted anticancer medication classified as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). It is specifically designed to treat certain types of leukemia, particularly in patients who are resistant or intolerant to other therapies. Ponatinib is highly effective against cancer cells with specific genetic mutations, including the T315I mutation, which is often resistant to other treatments.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Ponatinib Hydrochloride 15 mg

Mechanism of Action

Ponatinib works by inhibiting multiple tyrosine kinases, including the BCR-ABL protein responsible for the growth of leukemia cells. Its actions include:

• Blocking abnormal signaling pathways that promote cancer cell growth

• Targeting resistant mutations such as T315I

This targeted approach helps control disease progression effectively.
