Gefitinib Tablets 250mg In Pakistan

Gefitinib 250mg Tablets are a prescription anti-cancer medicine primarily used to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients whose tumors test positive for specific EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) mutations. It is a targeted therapy designed to slow down or stop the growth of cancer cells.

Benefits

Helps slow or stop the growth of EGFR-positive lung cancer cells.

Targets cancer cells specifically, causing less damage to healthy cells compared to traditional chemotherapy.

Oral tablet form for convenient daily use.

May improve progression-free survival in eligible patients.

Often associated with fewer systemic side effects than standard chemotherapy.

How It Works

Gefitinib belongs to a group of medicines called tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

Cancer cells with EGFR mutations grow rapidly due to abnormal signaling.

Gefitinib blocks the EGFR protein’s activity.

This prevents cancer cells from receiving signals that tell them to grow and divide.

As a result, tumor growth slows down or may shrink in some patients.

How to Use

Take one 250mg tablet once daily, or as prescribed by your doctor.

Swallow the tablet whole with water.

It can be taken with or without food.

Take it at the same time each day for best results.

Do not stop taking the medication unless advised by your doctor.
