Bosulif (bosutinib) 500mg Tablet
- Generic Name: bosutinib
- Drug Strength : 500mg
- Pack Size : 30
How it Works:
Bosulif inhibits the activity of specific proteins known as tyrosine kinases. These proteins are involved in the signaling pathways that control cell growth and division. In chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), there is a genetic mutation that leads to the overactivation of a tyrosine kinase called BCR-ABL. This abnormal protein drives the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells. Bosulif specifically targets and blocks the activity of BCR-ABL, thereby reducing the growth and proliferation of cancer cells.
