Masivet 1 Tablet 150mg

What is Masivet 1 Tablet 150mg used for?

Masivet 1 Tablet 150mg is primarily used to treat dogs diagnosed with mast-cell tumours, a form of cancer. It is specifically indicated for severe mast-cell tumours (grade 2 or 3) that cannot be removed through surgery. Importantly, its use is contingent upon the confirmation of a mutated form of the receptor protein c-kit within the tumour cells before treatment commences.

How does Masivet 1 Tablet 150mg work?

The active substance in Masivet 1 Tablet 150mg, masitinib, functions as a protein-tyrosine kinase inhibitor. This means it actively blocks specific enzymes known as tyrosine kinases. These enzymes are commonly found in receptors on cell surfaces, including the crucial c-kit receptor. In certain mast-cell tumour types, a mutation leads to excessive c-kit activity, causing uncontrolled cell division. By blocking these receptors, Masivet 1 Tablet 150mg helps to control cell division, potentially halting the progression of tumours associated with this specific mutation.
