Product Description
Larotrectinib is used to treat a certain type of solid tumors in adults and children 1 month of age and older that have spread to other parts of the body or cannot be treated successfully with surgery. This medication is used only if there are no other treatments available and the tumors have worsened after receiving other treatments. Larotrectinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that tells the cancer cells to multiply. This may help slow the growth of tumors. (Sourced from: https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a619006.html)
