Oscimin (osimertinib) is an oral medication used for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is positive for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. It is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor specifically designed to target and inhibit the activity of the EGFR mutations, which play a key role in the growth and spread of cancer cells. Oscimin is typically prescribed for patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC.

Oscimin works by selectively binding to the mutated forms of the EGFR receptor, inhibiting its activity. This action blocks downstream signaling pathways that promote cancer cell proliferation and survival, leading to reduced tumor growth and improved outcomes in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC.
Common Dosages
- Tablets: 80 mg.
Typical Dosing
- Adults: The recommended dose is 80 mg taken orally once daily, with or without food. Consistent daily administration is important for optimal results.
