Alecensa 150mg 240 Capsule

Alecensa (alectinib) is a prescription medication used to treat anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to other parts of the body. Each bottle contains 240 capsules of 150 mg alectinib, designed to provide a comprehensive treatment plan as prescribed by a healthcare professional.

How It Works

Alecensa works by inhibiting the activity of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) protein, which can promote the growth of cancer cells. By blocking ALK, alectinib helps slow down or stop the spread of cancer cells in ALK-positive NSCLC patients, thereby helping to control the disease.
