How much is a box of 56 Erdafitinib tablets?

Erdafitinib is used to treat advanced bladder cancer that has something called FGFR2/3 changes. Erdafitinib works by stopping a signal that’s sent by something called FGFR, which is a type of growth factor receptor. You can get Erdafitinib in three doses—3 mg, 4 mg, and 5 mg—and they’re all these little tablets with a film coating.

Doctors usually start people on 8 mg of Erdafitinib once a day, but they might go up to 9 mg if they need to. Erdafitinib comes in bottles with 56 tablets in each. Erdafitinib is made to stop a certain kind of signal, one that’s often found in cancer, especially in types that have FGFR2 or FGFR3 gene changes.

This treatment is for grown-ups who’ve already tried other kinds of treatment and don’t have a lot of options left.
