About Gefitero 250 mg Tablets

Gefitero 250 mg Tablets is an anti-cancer medicine primarily used in the treatment of certain types of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It contains Gefitinib 250 mg as its active composition, which belongs to the class of targeted therapy medicines known as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors. Gefitinib works by blocking the EGFR protein responsible for the growth and spread of cancer cells and helps slow down or stop tumour progression. This targeted mechanism makes the medicine effective in patients with specific EGFR gene mutations, while also supporting better disease management and improved treatment outcomes under medical supervision.
