Gilteritinib is an FLT3 inhibitor. It’s used to treat AML that doesn’t respond to standard treatments, especially in folks with FLT3 mutations. It works by keeping the FLT3 kinase from doing its thing, which slows down leukemia cell growth.
The drug comes as 40 mg pills, and they’re got that film coat. You’re supposed to take 120 mg of it every day. You’ll find the medicine in bottles, with 90 tabs inside.
Gilteritinib works by aiming for FLT3, this protein that often messes up in AML and helps cancer cells live and grow. So, by shutting down FLT3, gilteritinib tries to halt the messages that make cancer cells grow wild. The pill coating makes sure the stuff stays good and easy to take.
The way they make this med and how much to take is all set up to help people while trying to keep side effects low. They give you a bottle with 90 pills to make sure you’ve got enough.
