Product Information
Dasanix (Dasatinib) 40mg is a BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor used to treat Philadelphia chromosome-positive Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (Ph+ CML) and Philadelphia chromosome-positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (Ph+ ALL) in adult and eligible paediatric patients.

How Dasanix (Dasatinib) Works
Dasanix contains Dasatinib, a kinase inhibitor that primarily targets the BCR-ABL fusion protein. In Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukaemias, a chromosomal translocation creates the abnormal BCR-ABL gene, producing a constantly “switched-on” tyrosine kinase enzyme that drives uncontrolled proliferation of white blood cells.
Dasatinib works by binding to and inhibiting BCR-ABL, as well as several related kinases including SRC-family kinases, c-KIT, and PDGFR, blocking the downstream signalling that leukaemic cells depend on for survival and division. Dasatinib is active against many BCR-ABL mutations that can develop resistance to earlier tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as imatinib, making it an important option for patients who have become resistant or intolerant to first-line therapy.
Dasanix is a once-daily oral tablet, taken with or without food, offering a convenient targeted therapy for long-term disease control in CML and Ph+ ALL.
Indications for Dasanix (Dasatinib)
Dasanix (Dasatinib) is indicated for the following conditions:
|
Newly Diagnosed Chronic Phase CML For adult patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive CML in chronic phase. |
CML Resistant or Intolerant to Prior Therapy For adult patients with chronic, accelerated, or myeloid or lymphoid blast phase Ph+ CML with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy, including imatinib. |
|
Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive ALL For adult patients with Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukaemia with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy. |
Paediatric CML and Ph+ ALL For eligible paediatric patients with Ph+ chronic phase CML or Ph+ ALL, using weight-based dosing. |
Benefits of Dasanix (Dasatinib) 40mg
|
Effective in Imatinib-Resistant Disease Active against many BCR-ABL mutations associated with resistance to first-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as imatinib. |
Established First-Line and Second-Line Option Approved for both newly diagnosed chronic phase CML and for use after failure of prior therapy, across all phases of CML and in Ph+ ALL. |
Simple Once-Daily Dosing Taken once daily with or without food, replacing the earlier twice-daily regimen with a more convenient dosing schedule. |
|
Affordable Alternative to Sprycel Dasanix contains the same active ingredient as Sprycel by Bristol Myers Squibb, at a significantly lower cost, improving access to CML/ALL targeted therapy. |
Paediatric Option Available Approved for use in eligible children with Ph+ CML or Ph+ ALL using weight-based dosing. |
WHO-GMP and cGMP Certified Manufactured under strict WHO-GMP, cGMP, and ISO-certified standards, ensuring every batch of Dasanix meets consistent quality, safety, and efficacy requirements. |
How to Take Dasanix (Dasatinib)
Route: Oral, taken by mouth
Standard dose, chronic phase CML: 100mg total once daily.
Standard dose, accelerated/blast phase CML or Ph+ ALL: 140mg total once daily.
Tablet count: Since Dasanix is supplied as a 40mg tablet, the number of tablets needed to reach the prescribed total daily dose will be specified by the prescribing physician and may differ from patient to patient, including for dose-reduced regimens.
With food: Can be taken with or without food, at about the same time each day.
Swallowing: Swallow tablets whole. Do not crush, cut, or chew the tablets.
Acid-reducing medications: Dasatinib solubility depends on stomach acidity. Avoid proton pump inhibitors. If an antacid is needed, it should be taken several hours before or after Dasanix; if an H2-receptor blocker is needed, separate its dosing from Dasanix as advised by your physician.
Paediatric dosing: Based on body weight, as determined by the treating haematologist/oncologist.
Missed dose: If a dose is missed, take the next scheduled dose at its normal time. Do not take an extra dose to make up for a missed one.
Monitoring and Dosage Adjustments
Regular monitoring is essential during Dasanix treatment. Your healthcare provider will monitor complete blood counts for thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and anaemia, and watch closely for symptoms of fluid retention, such as new or worsening breathlessness, dry cough, or swelling, which may indicate pleural effusion and can require chest X-ray, dose interruption, diuretics, or a short course of steroids. Monitoring also includes cardiac assessment, given reported effects on heart function and QT interval, and watchfulness for symptoms of pulmonary arterial hypertension, such as progressive breathlessness or fatigue. Report any unusual bleeding, bruising, breathlessness, or chest discomfort to your doctor immediately.
Drug Interactions and Important Information
Dasatinib is metabolised primarily by CYP3A4. Avoid concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, and ritonavir, as these can significantly increase Dasatinib levels. Avoid strong CYP3A4 inducers such as rifampin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, and St. John’s Wort, as these can reduce Dasatinib efficacy; if unavoidable, a dose increase may be considered by the prescribing physician.
Because Dasatinib solubility is pH-dependent, acid-reducing medications, particularly proton pump inhibitors, should be avoided, as they can substantially reduce absorption and efficacy. Use caution with medications that inhibit platelet function or with anticoagulants, as these may increase bleeding risk. Always inform your physician of all medications, supplements, and herbal products you are currently taking before starting Dasanix.
Side Effects and Precautions
|
Common Side Effects Fluid retention (superficial oedema, pleural effusion) Diarrhoea Headache Fatigue Musculoskeletal pain Rash Nausea Dyspnoea (shortness of breath) |
Serious Warnings and Precautions Severe myelosuppression: thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and anaemia. Regular blood count monitoring is required. Severe fluid retention, including pleural and pericardial effusion, pulmonary oedema, and ascites. Bleeding events, including severe haemorrhage.

Not recommended during pregnancy; embryo-fetal toxicity. |
Who Should Use Dasanix (Dasatinib)?
Dasanix is suitable for adult patients with newly diagnosed or previously treated Philadelphia chromosome-positive CML, across chronic, accelerated, and blast phases, and adult patients with Ph+ ALL who have not responded adequately to or cannot tolerate prior therapy. Eligible paediatric patients with Ph+ CML or Ph+ ALL may also be treated using weight-based dosing. It is prescribed by haematologists and oncologists experienced in managing leukaemia. Baseline blood counts and cardiopulmonary assessment are recommended before starting treatment.
