How many pills of Osimertinib should you take a day?

Osimertinib (Osimertinib) is a cancer drug that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body. Osimertinib is used to treat non-small cell lung cancer that is positive for the abnormal "EGFR" gene, which doctors test for. Osimertinib is sometimes used when cancer has spread or metastasized to other parts of the body, or to help prevent lung cancer from coming back after surgery to remove a tumor.

Osimertinib is an oral kinase inhibitor available in tablets containing 40 or 80 mg of osimertinib, equivalent to 47.7 and 95.4 mg of Osimertinib mesylate, respectively. As long as the patient's condition improves or remains stable, or the cancer does not recur after surgery, and the side effects are acceptable, the patient should take 80 mg of osimertinib once a day. If the patient is taking 40 mg osimertinib tablets, take 2 tablets each time; if the patient is taking 80 mg osimertinib tablets, take 1 tablet each time. Patients should always follow their doctor's advice to ensure they are taking their medications correctly and should not adjust the dosage on their own.
