Izervay is a prescription medication that is commonly used to treat certain types of cancer, specifically advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific genetic mutation known as EGFR exon 20 insertion. This medication works by targeting and inhibiting the activity of the EGFR protein, which plays a key role in the growth and spread of cancer cells.

It is important to note that Izervay should only be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider, as it can cause serious side effects and may not be suitable for everyone. Your healthcare provider will determine if Izervay is the right treatment option for you based on your individual medical history and the specific characteristics of your cancer.

Common side effects of Izervay may include diarrhea, rash, nausea, fatigue, and decreased appetite. More serious side effects, such as interstitial lung disease or liver problems, may also occur and should be reported to your healthcare provider immediately.

It is important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully when taking Izervay, including taking the medication at the prescribed dose and frequency. Your healthcare provider may also recommend regular monitoring and blood tests to check for any potential side effects or complications.

If you have been prescribed Izervay for the treatment of your cancer, it is important to discuss any questions or concerns you may have with your healthcare provider. They can provide you with more information about the medication, its potential benefits, and any potential risks associated with its use.
