In locally advanced, unresectable stage III EGFRm NSCLC following CRT

TAGRISSO following CRT offers convenient, once-daily oral dosing

TAGRISSO: CONVENIENT,
ONCE-DAILY DOSING1

Following platinum-based CRT, TAGRISSO is taken as one 80-mg tablet, once daily with or without food

  • Select patients for treatment with TAGRISSO based on the presence of EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations
  • If a dose of TAGRISSO is missed, do not make up the missed dose and take the next dose as scheduled
  • Before initiating TAGRISSO monotherapy, perform complete blood count with differential. In patients with cardiac risk factors, conduct cardiac monitoring, including assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
  • Treat until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

For patients who have difficulty swallowing solids

  • Disperse TAGRISSO tablet in 60 mL (2 ounces) of noncarbonated water only. Stir until tablet is dispersed into small pieces (the tablet will not completely dissolve), and swallow immediately
  • Do not crush, heat, or ultrasonicate during preparation. Rinse the container with 120 mL to 240 mL (4 to 8 ounces) of water and immediately drink
  • TAGRISSO can be dispersed in water and swallowed or taken through an NG tube. For administration via an NG tube, please see the complete Prescribing Information
