Crizocent (XALKORI) — Crizotinib 250mg

Crizocent contains crizotinib 250mg. It is a generic version of XALKORI, a medicine used to treat adults with a certain type of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most common type of lung cancer. It is used when the cancer has a change in a gene called ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase). Your doctor will test for this change before prescribing it.

What is Crizocent used for?

Crizocent is used to treat ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer in adults, including cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Your doctor will confirm whether crizotinib is the right treatment for your type of cancer, based on your test results and your overall health.

How does crizotinib work?

Crizotinib is a kinase inhibitor. It blocks the ALK protein, which in ALK-positive cancer helps the cancer cells grow and spread. By blocking this protein, the medicine can slow the growth of the cancer and help control the disease.

How to use Crizocent

Take Crizocent exactly as your doctor tells you. It is taken by mouth as capsules. Swallow the capsules whole with water and do not open, crush or chew them. If you miss a dose, ask your doctor or pharmacist what to do — do not take two doses at once unless you are told to. Do not stop taking it without talking to your doctor first.

Important safety information

Crizocent is a prescription medicine, and a prescription is obtained through a licensed-provider review. Tell your doctor about all other medicines you take, and about any liver, heart or lung problems, and if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy. Like all medicines, crizotinib can cause side effects — ask your doctor or pharmacist for the full list and what to watch for. Do not share this medicine with anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms.
