Dacomitinib 45mg Tablet $150

Dacomitinib is an EGFR inhibitor. It’s used for lung cancer with certain genetic changes, like the deletion of EGFR exon 19 or L858R mutations in exon 21. It works by stopping EGFR signals.

You can get this drug in three doses: 15, 30, and 45 mg, all in tablets with a film coating. The usual amount you’d take is 45 mg, and you take it just once a day. Each bottle comes with 30 pills.

Dacomitinib is a kinase inhibitor, like EGFR. It’s meant for people with spread-out lung cancer that hasn’t gotten better or has gotten worse after chemo that uses platinum drugs. The treatment is trying to slow down tumor growth and help ease the symptoms.

Research studies have shown that it’s safe and works well, especially for patients with those specific gene changes.
