Iressa (generic name: gefitinib) is a prescription medication used to treat non-small cell lung cancer. It belongs to a class of drugs called tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which work by blocking the activity of a protein called epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which is responsible for the growth and spread of cancer cells.
Uses:
Iressa is primarily used to treat non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and has not responded to other treatments. It is specifically approved for use in patients who have a certain type of EGFR mutation.
Dosage:
The usual recommended dosage of Iressa is 250 mg taken orally once a day, on an empty stomach (at least one hour before or two hours after eating). The medication comes in the form of tablets that should be swallowed whole with a glass of water.
Side effects:
Common side effects of Iressa include diarrhea, rash, acne, dry skin, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fatigue, and nail changes. Less common but more serious side effects include liver damage, lung problems, and allergic reactions. If you experience any serious side effects or symptoms become severe or persistent, contact your doctor immediately.
Precautions:
Before taking Iressa, tell your doctor if you are allergic to gefitinib or any other medications, if you have liver disease or any other medical conditions, if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. It is also important to inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Iressa can interact with other medications, which may increase the risk of side effects. You should also avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice while taking Iressa, as it can increase the concentration of the medication in your bloodstream.
