FLT3 Inhib Generic

So, Quizartinib is a FLT3 inhibitor used to treat a tough type of blood cancer called acute myeloid leukemia (AML), especially in cases with FLT3-ITD mutations. It stops something called FLT3 signaling, which is kind of like turning off a bad switch in the cancer cells. The drug comes in two sizes: 17.7 mg and 26.5 mg.

But you start off small, taking 53 mg everyday once you’ve worked up to it, over a few days. Quizartinib comes in bottles, each with 28 little tablets all coated up for easier swallowing. They came up with this schedule for people who’ve already had treatment but the cancer just won’t give up, or if it comes back.

These tablets are set up to make sure that you get the same amount of medicine each time you take them.
