Introduction to Geftinat 250mg Tablet

Geftinat 250mg Tablet, containing the active ingredient Gefitinib, is an antineoplastic medication classified as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, specifically targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) (drugs.com). It is primarily used for the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have specific EGFR mutations, such as exon 19 deletions or exon 21 (L858R) substitutions, as confirmed by an FDA-approved test (drugs.com). Gefitinib works by blocking the activity of enzymes involved in cancer cell growth and spread, thereby helping to control tumor progression.
Patients using Gefitinib should be aware of potential inactive ingredients, such as lactose, which can cause symptoms like bloating and abdominal pain in individuals with lactose intolerance. It is important to inform your healthcare provider if you have kidney or liver disease, vision or lung problems, or are taking blood thinners like warfarin, as regular blood tests may be necessary to monitor for complications (drugs.com). The medication is contraindicated during pregnancy because it can harm an unborn fetus, and effective contraception should be used for at least two weeks after treatment ends. Breastfeeding is also not recommended during therapy, as it is unknown if Gefitinib passes into breast milk (drugs.com).
