​Standard Dosage and Initial Treatment Regimen of Brigatinib

Standard Dosage and Initial Treatment Regimen of Brigatinib

Brigatinib must be taken exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. The recommended dosage is given in two phases: for the first 7 days of treatment, take 90 mg once daily (one tablet); from day 8 onward, take 180 mg once daily (one tablet). Do not change the dose on your own. Your doctor may adjust the dose based on individual tolerability and response, for example by using 30 mg tablets to achieve the new required dose. To facilitate initiation of treatment, a starter pack is available: each outer pack contains two inner packs, with seven 90 mg tablets and twenty‑one 180 mg tablets respectively. The required dose is printed on the pack, please check carefully.

How to Take Brigatinib and Management of Missed or Overdose

Take brigatinib at the same time each day. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water; do not crush or dissolve. The tablet may be taken with or without food. If vomiting occurs after taking the dose, do not take an extra dose; simply take the next scheduled dose at the usual time. If you forget to take a dose, do not double the next dose to make up for it, just take the next dose as planned. If you take more tablets than the recommended dose, tell your doctor or pharmacist immediately. Special reminder: do not swallow the desiccant capsule inside the bottle. Do not stop treatment without your doctor’s approval.
