Overview

Gefitinib Mylan is a cancer medicine used to treat adults who have non-small cell lung cancer that is locally advanced or metastatic (when cancer cells have spread from the original site to other parts of the body). It is used in patients whose cancer cells have a mutation in the genes that make a protein called epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).

Gefitinib Mylan contains the active substance gefitinib and is a ‘generic medicine’. This means that Gefitinib Mylan contains the same active substance and works in the same way as a ‘reference medicine’ already authorised in the EU called Iressa.
