Rahika 200 mg Tablet 12's

Your doctor may recommend this medicine to help manage the following conditions:

• Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): It is used to treat adults with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and carries an abnormal MET exon 14 skipping gene.

It helps control the progression of advanced lung cancer, allowing patients to experience better physical comfort and daily function. By targeting the root genetic cause of tumour growth, it offers several key benefits:

• Slowing Tumour Growth: It helps shrink existing lung tumours or stop them from growing and spreading further.
• Relief from Lung Symptoms: By keeping the tumour in check, it can help reduce cancer-related chest pain, coughing, and breathing difficulties, making it easier to breathe.
• Targeted Action: Unlike traditional chemotherapy, it specifically targets the abnormal proteins causing the cancer, which can mean fewer general body side effects for some patients.
