Description:<\/h2>\n

What is Lucifutib 4 mg used for?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lucifutib 4 mg is a brand of Futibatinib, a targeted FGFR (fibroblast growth factor receptor) inhibitor used to treat adults with previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (a type of bile duct cancer) that carries FGFR2 gene fusions or other rearrangements. It works by blocking abnormal FGFR signals that tell cancer cells to grow. The usual dose is 20 mg (five 4 mg tablets) once a day, taken until the disease progresses or side effects become unacceptable. Futibatinib is a prescription-only medicine taken under the care of a cancer specialist.<\/p>\n

How Lucifutib Works:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Some bile duct cancers grow because of a faulty gene called FGFR2, which sends out constant \u201cgrow\u201d signals through a receptor called FGFR.<\/p>\n

Futibatinib \u2014 the active ingredient in Lucifutib \u2014 is a targeted FGFR inhibitor. It locks onto the FGFR receptor and switches off those abnormal growth signals, helping to slow or stop the cancer\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n

In one line: Lucifutib blocks the faulty FGFR signal that drives FGFR2+ bile duct cancer to grow.<\/p>\n

\n

Uses:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) \u2014 in adults with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic disease that has FGFR2 gene fusions or other rearrangements, and that has already been treated with at least one prior therapy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n

    Dosage & How to Take:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
      \n

      Warnings & Precautions<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Hyperphosphatemia is common \u2014 your doctor will check blood phosphate regularly and may advise a low-phosphate diet, phosphate-lowering medicine, or a dose change.<\/li>\n
