Dacomitinib is a targeted therapy. It’s used to treat Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, especially when there are certain mutations in the EGFR gene. It stops something called the EGFR signaling pathway.
This pathway is key in how lung cancer grows and spreads. You can get dacomitinib in three strengths: 15 mg, 30 mg, and 45 mg tablets with a coating. Doctors usually suggest taking 45 mg of the stuff once every day for adults.
These tablets come in bottles with 30 pills in each. Dacomitinib is really cool because it’s like a specific superhero for lung cancer that zeroes in on the mutated EGFR, which helps cancer cells grow.
