How does this medicine work?

Gefitinib works by blocking growth signals inside lung cancer cells that carry a specific gene change. By interrupting this signal, it slows down or stops the abnormal growth of these cells.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Tell your doctor about all medicines you are taking. Certain heartburn or acid-reducing medicines (such as omeprazole) can make this medicine less effective and should generally be avoided during treatment unless your doctor advises otherwise. Also inform your doctor if you are taking antacids, blood thinners, or other cancer medicines.

Interactions with food items

This medicine can be taken with or without food. Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice, as they may interact with this medicine.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

This medicine works best in patients whose lung cancer has specific gene changes. Genetic testing helps ensure the medicine will be effective for your particular cancer.
