About Imatinate 400 Capsule 30's
Imatinate 400 Capsule 30's belongs to a class of drugs known as 'anti-cancer medication', primarily used to treat various types of cancer. It is used to treat cancer of the blood (chronic myeloid leukaemia and acute lymphocytic leukaemia) and gastrointestinal stromal tumour. Cancer is a genetic change in which the cells divide uncontrollably and spread into surrounding tissues. There are more than 100 types of cancer, including blood cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, etc.
