So, Osimertinib is this special medicine that’s used to treat a type of lung cancer called NSCLC, especially in cases where there’s this thing called EGFR T790M mutation going on. You can get it in two different sizes, like 40 mg and 80 mg, both of them are these shiny tablets. The doc usually says to take the 80 mg tablet just once every day, and it doesn’t matter if you take it with or without food.
These tablets come in bottles, and each one has 30 of them. Osimertinib works by keeping this EGFR protein, which is super important for cancer growth, from doing its thing. You’re supposed to keep taking it regularly because that’s how it’s meant to work best.
The doc might want to check in on how you’re doing and see if the cancer’s still hanging around, just to make sure the treatment’s on the right track.
