How often should you take Brigatinib/Brigatinib?

Brigatinib/Brigatinib is a targeted cancer drug for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. It is also known as Alunbrig. This is a treatment for a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (advanced or metastatic). You may be given brigatinib if your anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene has a change (such as a mutation), and your doctor will send a tissue sample to check for this genetic change.

Brigatinib is available in tablet form, which can be swallowed whole with a glass of water, with or without food. Patients can take brigatinib tablets once a day under the guidance of a doctor. The prescription information recommends that patients take it at about the same time every day, or at intervals of 24 hours, to ensure that the hormone levels in the patient's body are relatively stable and conducive to disease control. As long as brigatinib is effective, patients can continue to take it, and the side effects will not be too great. Generally, you need to take medication according to your condition and doctor's advice. You cannot change the dosage or stop medication at will. The interval may be adjusted based on the needs of the patient's condition, so if the patient is taking brigatinib, it is recommended to consult a doctor to understand the correct dosage time and dosage.
