Vizimpro package insert?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Vizimpro

Vizimpro is the brand name for dacomitinib, an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor. If you’re asking for the “package insert” (the official US prescribing information), I can either point you to the official sources or summarize the labeling. Which would you prefer? In the meantime, here are the best places to get the current, official labeling:

- DailyMed (US labeling): DailyMed hosts the current Vizimpro/dacomitinib prescribing information. You can search for “dacomitinib” or “Vizimpro” on DailyMed to open the latest labeling in PDF or HTML.

- Drugs@FDA (FDA labeling): The FDA’s Drugs@FDA database links to the current labeling for Vizimpro. It provides the official prescribing information and PDFs of the labeling.

- Pfizer product page: The manufacturer’s Vizimpro page often hosts the labeling or provides links to the official labeling (FDA/DailyMed).

If you’d like, I can summarize the key sections of the current Vizimpro labeling (indication, dosing, contraindications, warnings/precautions, adverse effects, drug interactions, pregnancy/breastfeeding, and monitoring) or pull out specific details (for example, the exact dosing adjustments or warning language). Just tell me which sections you want.

A brief high-level summary (for orientation only, not a substitute for the full label):
- Indication: Vizimpro is indicated for the treatment of adults with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR-activating mutations (first-line setting in the US labeling).
- Dosage: Typical starting dose is 45 mg once daily by mouth; continue until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. Dose reductions are allowed (e.g., to 30 mg, then 15 mg) for adverse events.
- Key safety/warnings: Interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis; serious infections; ocular toxicity (e.g., keratitis/eye disorders); severe diarrhea and dehydration; stomatitis; rash; electrolyte disturbances; QT interval prolongation; wound healing complications; hepatotoxicity.
- Drug interactions: Avoid concomitant strong CYP3A inhibitors (they can raise dacomitinib exposure); be cautious with inducers; monitor when coadministered.
- Special populations: Pregnancy should be avoided if possible; use effective contraception; discuss risks if pregnancy occurs. Lactation and pediatric use considerations are included in the labeling.
- Monitoring: Regular lab tests (LFTs, electrolytes), ECG monitoring if indicated, assessment for ILD symptoms, ocular assessments for eye-related events, and evaluation of adverse effects like diarrhea and rash.

If you want, tell me:
- Do you want just the official PDF/URL, or a detailed, section-by-section summary?
- Do you prefer a US-only labeling summary, or also EU/other regions?
