WHAT VIZIMPRO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Vizimpro contains the active substance dacomitinib, which belongs to a
group of medicines called
protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors which are used to treat cancer.
Vizimpro is used to treat adults with a type of lung cancer called
‘non-small cell lung cancer’. If a test
has shown that your cancer has certain changes (mutations) in a gene
called ‘EGFR’ (epidermal
growth factor receptor) and has spread to your other lung or other
organs, your cancer is likely to
respond to treatment with Vizimpro.
Vizimpro can be used as your first treatment once your lung cancer has
spread to your other lung or
other organs.
