Daxymia 100 Tablet 10 contains imatinib mesylate (100 mg), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• BCR-ABL Inhibition: Imatinib mesylate targets and inhibits a specific enzyme called BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase. This enzyme is produced due to a genetic abnormality known as the Philadelphia chromosome often found in leukemia cases. By inhibiting BCR-ABL, the medicine reduces the growth of leukemic cells and promotes their programmed death, known as apoptosis.

• c-kit Inhibition: Imatinib mesylate also inhibits another enzyme called the tyrosine kinase receptor c-kit. This enzyme plays a significant role in the development of gastrointestinal stromal tumours. By inhibiting this enzyme, the medicine helps manage the growth of such tumours.
