So, Alectinib is a special kind of cancer fighter called a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, or TKI for short. It’s like a ninja for cancer, specifically targeting this thing called the anaplastic lymphoma kinase, or ALK for brevity. It comes in these 150 mg capsule things, and its job is to help treat a type of lung cancer called ALK-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC in the medical lingo.
You’re supposed to take 600 mg of it, two times a day, and make sure to eat something while you’re at it to help it work better. Each bottle has 240 capsules, which is like a whole month’s worth of the stuff if you’re following the recommended dose.
