What is Xalkori?

Xalkori contains the prescription medicine crizotinib. Crizotinib is used to treat non-small cell lung cancer that has epidermal growth factor receptors as a genetic marker. Your doctor will carry out a test to make sure Xalkori is correct for you. Xalkori can be used alone or with other medications:

• To stop your lung cancer from coming back after you’ve had surgery to remove the tumor
• If your lung cancer has spread to other parts of your body

It is not known if Xalkori is safe and effective in children younger than 1-year-old. Xalkori should not be used if you are pregnant, or if you are a man and your partner is pregnant. Crizotinib can cause life-threatening birth defects or can cause the death of a baby if the mother or the father is taking this medicine at the time of conception or during pregnancy.

Xalkori active ingredients

Crizotinib blocks the action of an enzyme in the body called kinase. Kinase normally attaches to and stimulates the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Stimulation of this receptor causes epidermal growth factor (EGF) to stimulate the growth and spread of different types of cells in your body. In the body, crizotinib is thought to be converted into two more active versions of itself that have a greater effect on blocking the effect of kinase. This ultimately leads to a reduction in the growth and spread of cancer cells in your body.

Xalkori is usually taken twice per day, with or without food. Swallow the capsule whole and do not crush, chew, break, or open it. You may need frequent medical tests while you are taking Xalkori to be sure it is not causing harmful effects.
