Ayvakit Tablets

AYVAKIT  (avapritinib) is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM). AYVAKIT is not recommended in people with low platelet counts (less than 50 X 10 9/L). It is not known if AYVAKIT is safe and effective in children.   Avapritinib belongs to the group of medicines known as antineoplastics. It interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Since the growth of normal body cells may also be affected by sunitinib, other effects will also occur.
