So, this medicine, Gilteritinib, is like a superhero for treating this type of blood cancer called acute myeloid leukemia. It’s particularly useful when the leukemia comes back or doesn’t want to leave after treatment, and it specifically targets a fault called FLT3 mutations. You should take it, a big 120mg, every day but, easy peasy, you pop it and you’re done.
Each little tablet has 40mg, and if you’ve got your own personal stock, your bottle should have like a small army—90 tablets. It works by putting on the breaks for something called FLT3 kinase, essentially telling those leukemia cells, ‘No growies! No playies!’ It’s mainly meant for the tough fighters whose AML wouldn’t chill with other stuff, or, for the ones whose cancer came back after they thought it was gone. Now, it’s a big deal to figure out if someone has these FLT3 mutations so they can get the right treatment, this gilteritinib stuff.
While it’s mighty effective, it could cause a few hiccups like too many blood cells, maybe a fever or an infection, and the liver might get a bit overworked too.
