Generic Dasatinib (Sprycel) package insert
Dasatinib is used to treat a certain type of chronic myeloid
leukemia (CML; a type of cancer of the white blood cells) as a first treatment
and in people who can no longer benefit from other leukemia medications
including imatinib (Gleevec) or in those who cannot take these medications
because of side effects. Dasatinib is also used to treat a certain type of
chronic CML in children. Dasatinib is also used to treat a certain type of
acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL; a type of cancer of the white blood cells)
in people who can no longer benefit from other leukemia medications or who
cannot take these medications because of side effects. Dasatinib is in a class
of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an
abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps stop the
spread of cancer cells.
