Contra Indications
Hypersensitivity. Lactation.
Precautions
Cardiac disease or increased risk for CHF. Monitor for signs of severe fluid retention. Monitor CBC regularly. Renal and hepatic impairment. Monitor LFTs. Pregnancy.
Lactation: Imatinib and its active metabolite are excreted into human milk; advise a lactating woman not to breastfeed during treatment and for 1 month after last dose
Pregnancy-Lactation
Pregnancy
Fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman based on human and animal data
No clinical studies available regarding use in pregnant women
There have been postmarket reports of spontaneous abortions and congenital anomalies from women who have been exposed to imatinib during pregnancy
Test pregnancy status in females with reproductive potential before initiation of treatment
If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, apprise patient of potential risks to the fetus
Contraception
Females of reproductive potential: Advise to use effective contraception (methods that result in less than 1 % pregnancy rates) during treatment and for 14 days after discontinuing treatment
Lactation
Imatinib and its active metabolite are excreted into human milk
Advise a lactating woman not to breastfeed during treatment and for 1 month after last dose
Interactions
Increased serum levels w/ CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. azole antifungals, macrolide antibiotics). Reduced serum levels w/ CYP3A4 inducers (e.g. carbamazepine, dexamethasone, phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifampicin). May increase serum levels of substrates of CYP3A4 (e.g. ciclosporin, pimozide, triazolo-benzodiazepines, dihydropyridine Ca channel blockers, certain statins), CYP2C9 (e.g. warfarin) and CYP2D6.

Mode of Action
Imatinib, is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase created by the Philadelphia chromosome abnormality in chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). It blocks proliferation and induces apoptosis in BCR-ABL positive cell lines, as well as fresh leukaemic cells from Philadelphia chromosome positive CML. Imatinib also inhibits receptor kinases for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and stem cell factor (SCF), c-kit, PDGF- and SCF-mediated cellular events.
