Crizotinib is designed to treat NSCLC. It zeros in on tumors that have mutations in specific genes like ALK, ROS1, or MET. You can get this in 200mg or 250mg capsule form.
Doctors usually recommend taking 250 mg of the stuff twice a day, whether with food or not doesn’t matter much. It comes in bottles with 60 capsules each. So, Crizotinib is what we call a ‘kinase inhibitor.’ It works by slowing down cancer cell growth by stopping some bad enzymes.
It works by actually blocking these kinases—ALK, ROS1, and MET—that are like cancer enablers. And these capsules are taken by mouth to circulate throughout your whole body.
