Description  of  Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg)

Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg) tablets are categorized as kinase inhibitor, which exhibits anti-cancer activity by undergoing mechanism like protein kinase inhibition, the main ingredient which is used as Gefitinib Iressa. Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg) contains an active compound known as Gefitinib Iressa which is chemically known as anilinoquinazoline which contains anti-neoplastic effects. Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg) is a FDA approved product, manufactured by Natco pharma.

INDICATIONS of  Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg)

 

Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg) is considered as first line therapy in non-small cell lung carcinoma in metastatic stage, tumor cell containing epidermal growth factor receptors like exon 19 deletion or exon 21 substitution mutations which is identified by FDA approved test.

MECHANISM OF ACTION  of  Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg)

Cancer cells expressed epidermal growth factor receptors on their cell surface, occurred in both healthy and cancer infected cells. These receptors involved in development of cell growth and multiplication. Some epidermal growth factor receptors have stimulating mutations (changes) within non small cell lung cancer cells which are providing encouragement to cancer cell growth, blockade of apoptosis occurs, which may elevates angiogenic factors and promoting metastasis process. Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg) containing Gefitinib causes unstable inhibition of tyrosine kinase and triggering variation of EGFR, hindering the autophosphorylation of tyrosine debris related with receptor, through prohibits following signaling and blockade EGFR dependent multiplication

ADME OF ACTION  of  Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg)


The mean bioavailability of Gefitinib Iressa is 60% The peak plasma concentration time of Gefitinib is reaches within 3 to 7 hours after drug intake Gefitinib Iressa is distributed throughout the body and causes steady state volume of distribution in 1400L The human plasma protein bound of Gefitinib is occurs as 90%. The metabolism of Gefitinib Iressa is occurs through hepatically, by using CYP3A4. Three sections of biotransformation occurs in metabolism of Gefitinib includes as; 1. Metabolism of N-propoxymorpholino group 2. Methoxy substituent on quinazoline demethylation occur 3. Halogenated phenyl group undergoes oxidative defluorination The major active metabolite of Gefitinib is O desmethyl Gefitinib which is formed by CYP2D6 metabolism. Gefitinib Iressa is cleared away with the help of liver, with half life elimination occurring within 48 hours. The steady state plasma concentration is accomplished within 10 days after daily single dose. The elimination of Gefitinib Iressa is occurs through feces with the range of 86% and renal elimination also occurred with less than 4%. Drug- Drug interaction causing alteration in pharmacokinetic properties: Co administration of Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg) with strong CYP3A4 inducers like rifampicin causes reduction in mean AUC of Gefitinib Iressa by 83%. Concurrent use of Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg) tablet with CYP3A4 inhibitor like itraconazole leads to elevation of AUC by 80%. Co administration of drugs which affecting gastric pH like ranitidine with sodium bicarbonate, which may causes decreasing the AUC by 47%. Metoprolol is a substrate of CYP2D6, increasing the exposure by 30% which is given on day 15 Gefitinib therapy with solid tumors.

PRECAUTION  of  Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg)

Interstitial lung disease: In this case, Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg) therapy is discontinue and rapidly examine for ILD in any patients who have acute respiratory problems. Liver toxicity: Patient receiving Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg) tablets have a chance to elevate AST & ALT levels and increased bilirubin levels cause hepatotoxicity and to recover from this condition discontinue the therapy. Gastrointestinal perforation: For this condition, stop the therapy permanently. Persistent diarrhea: Discontinue the therapy with Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg) Ocular disorders: Ocular disorders like corneal erosion, aberrant eyelash growth may occur during the therapy of Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg), discontinue the Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg) therapy.

DRUG INTERACTION  of  Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg)

Strong CYP3A4 inducers:
In combination with Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg) tablets causes increasing the metabolism of Gefitinib Iressa and reducing the plasma concentration of Gefitinib. In this condition the dosage of Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg) is increased to 500mg and followed by 250mg for 7 days after stopping the CYP3A4 inducers like phenytoin, rifampicin or tricyclic anti depressants.
Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors:
Concurrent use with Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg) tablets leads to cause decreasing the metabolism of Gefitinib Iressa and increasing the plasma concentration of Gefitinib. Avoid this concomitant otherwise monitor the patients frequently who are receiving this combinational therapy.
Drugs increasing gastric pH:
Co administration of Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg) tablets with proton pump inhibitors, antacids or histamine H2 receptor antagonist may leads to decrease the plasma concentration of Gefitinib. Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg) tablets are administered 12 hours after the last dose or 12 hours before the dose of proton pump inhibitors; Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg) should be taken 6 hours after or before the dose of H2 receptor antagonist or antacids. While taking warfarin in Geftinat 250mg (Gefitinib 250mg) therapy causes increased risk of hemorrhage.
