So, Dacomitinib is this super targeted therapy for lung cancer. It’s mainly for people with a specific kind of mutation in their EGFR gene. It’s like it blocks a key pathway that cancer cells use to grow.
This EGFR thing is super important for cancer cells to survive. Dacomitinib comes in three doses – 15 mg, 30 mg, and the highest being 45 mg – and they’re all in these film-coated tablet forms. The usual dose is 45 mg, and you’re supposed to take it every day.
Each bottle has about 30 tablets, that’s how they’re packaged.
