Brigatinib 30mg-180mg tablets $120/pack

So, brigatinib is an ALK inhibitor that’s mostly used for people with this specific type of lung cancer, you know, where the ALK thing is going on. It works by shutting down the ALK signal, which keeps the cancer cells from growing or spreading. The drug comes in three sizes—30, 90, and 180 mg—as tablets with that coating on them.

Doctors usually start folks with a 90 mg tablet once a day. Then they might bump it up to a 180 mg tab, also once daily, but they take it all in a row, you know, not stopping after a while. They take this stuff for seven straight days and then they’ve got a seven-day break after that.

The tablets come in bottles with 30 in each.
