This is also used in treating dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, a type of tumor grown in the parts of the body where it can\u2019t be surgically removed. Imatikast (Imatinib) belongs to the class of medicines known as kinase inhibitors. It works by preventing any unnecessary action done by the abnormal protein that signals the cells to multiply, which plays a significant part in stopping the spread of cancer cells.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tablet effects<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The tablets should be taken after food, and it is recommended to take the medication at the same time every day to increase the tablets&#8217; effectiveness. The patient should continue taking the medication until the doctor tells you to stop. Taking these tablets can cause side effects such as vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, water swelling, and water retention. Intake of a missed pill as quickly as you realize is essential; taking only one dose per day is recommended. Taking a double dose may cause some severe side effects to the human body.
