Rahika 150 mg Tablet 12's

Rahika 150 mg Tablet is used to treat advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Lung cancer is a type of cancer that begins when cells in the lungs grow abnormally. These cells do not perform normal lung functions and fail to form healthy lung tissue. In this condition, lung cells grow uncontrollably and, if not identified early, may spread to other body parts (metastatic). NSCLC is a category of lung cancer that happens when cells that form the lining of the lung start growing uncontrollably.
