Ponatinix Tablet 45 mg contains Ponatinib Hydrochloride, a potent third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) used in the treatment of resistant or refractory leukemias. It is particularly effective in patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome-positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph+ ALL), especially those harboring the T315I mutation. This higher strength formulation is often used as an initial or adjusted dose under strict oncological supervision.
