What is Rozlytrek?

Rozlytrek is used in adults to treat non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic).

Rozlytrek is also used in adults and children at least 12 years old who have solid tumors that have spread or cannot be safely removed with surgery, or when other treatments have failed or are not safe options.

Rozlytrek is used only if your cancer has a specific abnormal gene. Your doctor will test you for this gene.

Warnings

Rozlytrek may cause new or worsened symptoms of congestive heart failure. Call your doctor at once if you have swelling in your lower legs, rapid weight gain, cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, or trouble breathing while lying down.

How should I take Rozlytrek

Use Rozlytrek exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose. Use the medicine exactly as directed.

You may take Rozlytrek with or without food.

Swallow the capsule whole and do not crush, chew, break, or open it.

If you vomit shortly after taking Rozlytrek, take another dose.
