Overview
Augtyro is a prescription drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat adults with locally advanced or metastatic ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer. Augtyro is also referred to by its drug name, repotrectinib.

Augtyro is a member of a class of drugs called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Augytro is believed to work by blocking the ROS1 gene and the receptor tyrosine kinases. This inhibition helps control cancer growth and reduce tumor size.

How do I take it?
Prescribing information states that Augytyro is taken orally as a capsule once a day for 14 days, then twice daily.

Augtyro should be taken exactly as prescribed by a physician.
