How Xospata Tablet works
Xospata 40mg Tablet works by inhibiting the activity of FLT3, a receptor tyrosine kinase that is often mutated and overactive in certain cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). By blocking FLT3 signaling, it helps disrupt the growth and survival of leukemia cells, ultimately slowing their proliferation and promoting their destruction. This targeted action helps to control the progression of AML and improve treatment outcomes.
