So, Alectinib is this targeted therapy that’s specifically used for treating NSCLC, which is a type of lung cancer, when it’s spread around and it’s ALK-positive. It falls into a group called ALK inhibitors, and its job is to shut down this ALK protein pathway, you know? This is like a signal to cancer cells to grow, and it stops them in their tracks. You take it as these 150 mg capsules, like a pill, get it? The go-to dose is 600 mg, two times a day.
And, yeah, it’s best taken with something to eat. You get these bottles of the stuff with 240 capsules in each. That’s enough for a full month’s worth if you’re on the regular plan, like, 30 days.
So, you’ll need a new bottle every month to keep things going smoothly. It’s super important for dealing with the symptoms of really bad NSCLC, and sometimes it’s used along with other drugs or all by itself, depending on the situation.
