Vizimpro How to Take

Vizimpro (Dacomitinib) belongs to the group of cancer-fighting medications known as antineoplastics. Specifically, it belongs to the class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It works by recognizing certain types of cancer cells and blocking the action of chemicals that cause them to divide and grow. This may slow down or stop cancers from growing and dividing.

Vizimpro (Dacomitinib) is used in adults to treat non-small-cell Lung Cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread to other parts of the body. It is not appropriate for all types of non-small cell lung cancer. It will only interfere with the growth of cancer cells that have a particular mutation (a change) in the "epidermal growth factor receptor". Your doctor should test your cancer for this change in the "EGFR" receptor before starting Vizimpro (Dacomitinib).
