Lorlatinib is a fancy, third-generation med that’s made for people with a kind of lung cancer. This cancer is the bad guy that spreads, and it’s the same kind that has already had some other treatments. It works by nailing down these things called ALK and ROS1 kinases to keep the tumor from growing.
The drug has two doses: 25 milligrams and a stronger 100 milligrams. You usually take the 100 mg tablet once a day, and it doesn’t matter if you eat with it or not. You’ll find these pills in bottles with 30 in each one.
So, the doc uses it after other ALK inhibitors didn’t work. It’s like a backup plan. This drug’s how-your-body-takes-it-up thing and other science stuff are a big deal.
Plus, it’s like a superhero for lung cancer that’s caused by certain gene changes.
