Dosage
Recommended Dosage
The recommended dosage of Lorlatinib is 100 mg orally once daily, with or without food, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Swallow tablets whole. Do not chew, crush or split tablets. Do not ingest if tablets are broken, cracked, or otherwise not intact.
Take Lorlatinib at the same time each day. If a dose is missed, then take the missed dose unless the next dose is due within 4 hours.
