About Geffy 250mg Tablet

Geffy 250mg Tablet contains Gefitinib, which is an oral medication used primarily in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that has specific mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor gene. As a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, gefitinib functions by obstructing the signals that encourage the development of cancer cells.

Women undergoing treatment should use effective contraception to avoid pregnancy during and for one month after treatment, and inform their doctor about all other medications being taken.
