Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Idaoxia Work?
- Inhibiting DNA synthesis: It interferes with the synthesis of DNA and RNA in cancer cells, preventing them from proliferating.
- Targeting specific pathways: Idaoxia may target certain signaling pathways that are essential for cancer cell survival and growth, promoting apoptosis (programmed cell death).
Common Dosages
- Idaosine: The usual starting dose is 100 mg taken orally once daily. Dosage may be adjusted based on individual response and tolerability.
Typical Dosing
- For chronic myeloid leukemia: The recommended starting dose is usually 100 mg orally once daily, which can be adjusted based on treatment response and side effects.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML)
- Other hematologic malignancies as determined by healthcare providers.

- Known hypersensitivity to idaosine or any components of the formulation.
- Severe hepatic impairment, as the drug may exacerbate liver conditions.
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Take Idaoxia exactly as prescribed, and do not miss doses, as this can affect treatment outcomes.
