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.
