So, gefitinib is a medication that blocks a protein called EGFR, mainly used for a type of lung cancer called NSCLC. It’s for people who have a specific kind of gene change, either in exon 19 or exon 21. It works by stopping the EGFR protein from sending certain signals.
You can get this medication in 250 mg tablets. They recommend you take one tablet a day, on an empty stomach or with food—it doesn’t really matter. Each bottle holds 30 of those tablets.
