Veenat 100mg Capsule is an anti-cancer medication. It works by acting on a protein enzyme known as bcr-abl tyrosine kinase that is responsible for the uncontrolled growth of cancerous cells. By inhibiting the action of this enzyme it effectively controls the growth and multiplication of cancer cells and slows down the progression of cancer.
