What dosages is bosutinib available in?
bosutinib is available as a 100 mg, 400 mg, and 500 mg oral tablet and a 50 mg and 100 mg oral capsule.
What is bosutinib used for?
bosutinib is a BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor and is used to treat Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (Ph+ CML).
How does bosutinib work?
bosutinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). It blocks a certain protein in your body called BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase. This protein is only found on cancer cells like those of CML and typically causes the cancer cells to grow and multiply. By blocking BCR-ABL from working, bosutinib stops the cancer from growing and spreading.

bosutinib is typically dosed as follows:
Adults
- Newly diagnosed with Ph+ CML: The typical dose is 400 mg by mouth once daily
- Previously treated with a similar medication: The typical dose of bosutinib (bosutinib) is 500 mg by mouth once daily
Children aged 1 year and older
- The dose is based on your child’s body surface area or body size, which takes into account weight and height
- Newly diagnosed with Ph+ CML: The typical dose ranges from 150 mg to 400 mg by mouth once daily, depending on your child’s body size
- Previously treated with a similar medication: The typical dose of bosutinib (bosutinib) ranges from 200 mg to 500 mg by mouth once daily, depending on your child’s body size
Your dose might differ if you have kidney or liver problems. Your provider will also adjust your dose if you have bothersome or severe side effects.
