So, Gefitinib is a kind of drug that blocks this thing called EGFR, which is a protein thing that gets a little too active in some types of lung cancer. Specifically, it helps with a couple of genetic mutations that occur in those cancers. The tablet is just these 250 mg thingies.
You pop one once a day. There’s no special time to eat with it or not, it’s kind of up to you. They come in these bottles with 30 tablets, so that gives you a whole month’s supply with the recommended amount.
It is important to note that the EGFR mutation status should be confirmed before starting treatment with Gefitinib, and there might be a list of potential side effects, contraindications, and considerations for drug interactions and resistance mechanisms. This pill works by keeping this EGFR signal in check, kind of stopping the cancer cells from multiplying like they shouldn’t. Now, how much it costs is definitely something to think about before buying that bottle with 30 pills.
