Tegozol is a medication used to treat specific types of brain tumors, such as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). It is initially administered alongside radiation therapy and later used as a standalone treatment for brain tumors.

Composition of Tegozol

• Newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in adults, administered initially with radiation therapy, followed by monotherapy.

• Malignant gliomas in children older than three years: used for glioblastoma multiforme or anaplastic astrocytoma when these tumors recur or worsen after standard treatment.

Tegozol Dosage

• The appropriate dosage of Tegozol is determined by the physician and varies based on body size, whether the tumor has recurred, and previous chemotherapy treatments.

• Take the prescribed dose once daily, preferably at the same time each day.

• Administer the medication on an empty stomach (e.g., one hour before breakfast).
