About Geftinat Tablets
Geftinat 250mg Tablet is used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. It is used in patients in which it has spread to other parts of the body, who have abnormal epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) genes, and who have not had previous treatment for cancer.
Targeted Cancer TherapyGeftinat Tablets are designed as a targeted oral treatment for patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). By inhibiting the EGFR pathway, they aim to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells. This makes Geftinat a valuable therapeutic option for individuals whose tumors demonstrate EGFR mutations, with potential benefits over conventional chemotherapy.

The tablets are to be taken orally, with the specific dose and duration directed by an oncologist. Following professional advice is crucial for maximizing therapeutic outcomes and managing any possible adverse reactions.
Safe Handling and StorageTo preserve the effectiveness and integrity of Geftinat Tablets, keep the bottle tightly closed and store it in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Following these storage guidelines helps ensure the product remains stable for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
