How gefitinib works
Gefitinib is a type of biological therapy called a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). It blocks a type of protein called tyrosine kinase from sending signals that make the cancer cells grow.
In order for gefitinib to work, the cancer cells need to have receptors for a protein called epidermal growth factor (EGFR).

How you have gefitinib
Gefitinib is a tablet. You take it with a glass of water. If you can’t swallow tablets you can put it in half a glass of water and leave it to dissolve. This usually takes about 20 minutes and you will need to swill it round a bit. It is important to make sure that you drink all of the liquid.
You have gefitinib once a day and need to take it at about the same time each day. Avoid taking anti acid medicines 2 hours before taking gefitinib and for 1 hour afterwards.
You usually carry on taking gefitinib for as long as it works.
It is very important that you take tablets according to the instructions your doctor or pharmacist gave you. Whether you have a full or empty stomach, for example, can affect how much of a drug gets into your bloodstream. You should take the right dose, not more or less.
If you take too many tablets by accident, let your doctor or pharmacist know straight away.
If you forget to take a tablet and it is 12 hours or more before the next dose, take the missed tablet as soon as you remember. If it is less than 12 hours until the next dose, skip the next tablet and then take the next tablet at the usual time. Don't take a double dose to make up for the forgotten dose.
