Uses:
Veenat is primarily used to treat certain types of cancer such as chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), and other types of cancers. It is also prescribed to prevent the cancer cells from multiplying and spreading.
How to Use:
Veenat is for oral use only. The dosage and duration of treatment may differ depending on the severity of the condition. It is recommended to follow the instructions provided by the doctor. Veenat should be taken on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals. Swallow the medicine with a glass of water and do not crush or chew the capsule.

Before using Veenat, inform the doctor about any medical conditions or allergies that you may have. If you have a history of heart or liver problems, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, then you should not take Veenat without consulting the doctor. Veenat may temporarily lower your blood cell count, and therefore, patients should be monitored regularly.
