TAGRISSO 40 mg/1

TAGRISSO 40 mg tablets are a prescription medication used in the treatment of certain types of non-small cell lung cancer. This medication contains osimertinib, a targeted therapy designed to inhibit specific mutations in cancer cells. TAGRISSO is manufactured by AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP and is available in a 30-tablet bottle.

TAGRISSO 40 mg tablets are primarily used for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with specific EGFR mutations. Osimertinib, the active ingredient, works by targeting these mutations to help slow the growth and spread of cancer cells. This medication is often prescribed for patients who have tested positive for these mutations, either initially or after other treatments have been tried. TAGRISSO is designed to be taken orally and is part of a broader treatment plan that may include other therapies.

Common effects of TAGRISSO 40 mg tablets may include diarrhea, rash, and dry skin. Some patients may also experience fatigue, nausea, or decreased appetite. These effects can vary in severity and may not affect everyone who takes the medication. It is important to discuss any persistent or bothersome effects with a healthcare provider.

TAGRISSO 40 mg tablets should be handled with care and stored as directed. This medication is intended for oral use only and should be taken exactly as prescribed. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking, as well as any medical conditions you have. Pregnant women or those planning to become pregnant should discuss the potential risks with their healthcare provider before starting TAGRISSO.

TAGRISSO 40 mg tablets may interact with certain medications, including those that are metabolized by the liver's CYP3A4 enzyme. This can affect how well the medication works or increase the risk of side effects. It is important to avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice while taking TAGRISSO, as they can interfere with the metabolism of the medication. Always inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
