So, Gilteritinib is this FLT3 inhibitor thing, and it’s mainly used for AML that comes back or doesn’t respond to treatment, especially if the FLT3 gene has mutations. Its job is to stop something called FLT3 kinase (which is a type of protein kinase) in its tracks, and that helps slow down the growth of cancer cells. You take it in the form of pills, with each one having 40 milligrams of the gilteritinib stuff.
The usual dose for grown-ups is 120 mg of the pill, taken every day. The pills come in bottles, and each bottle holds 90 of those pills. You really gotta follow the doctor’s orders to get the most out of it and keep any side effects down.
