1. What is SPRYCEL and how is it used
SPRYCEL contains the active ingredient dasatinib. This medication is used to treat chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in adults, adolescents, and children at least 1 year of age. Leukemia is a type of cancer of the white blood cells. These white blood cells normally help the body fight infections. In patients with CML, a type of white blood cell called granulocytes begin to multiply uncontrollably. SPRYCEL inhibits the growth of these leukemia cells.
SPRYCEL is also used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) in adults, adolescents, and children at least 1 year of age and blast crisis in CML in adults who do not benefit from previous treatments. In patients with ALL, a type of white blood cell called lymphocytes multiply too quickly and live too long. SPRYCEL inhibits the growth of these leukemia cells.
