Afadel 40mg Tablet is a targeted cancer therapy containing Afatinib dimaleate, designed to treat specific types of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This medication works by blocking proteins that help cancer cells grow and spread. It is prescribed for patients whose lung cancer has certain genetic mutations in the EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) gene, or for those with advanced squamous NSCLC that has progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy.
This medicine is taken orally as a daily tablet and requires careful monitoring by your healthcare team. Before starting Afadel 40mg, inform your doctor about any existing health conditions, medications, or allergies. Do not use this medication if you are allergic to Afatinib dimaleate, weigh below 50 kilograms (if female), are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 18 years of age.
Key points
Afadel 40mg Tablet works by inhibiting the ErbB family of proteins, including EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor), HER2, ErbB3, and ErbB4. Cancer cells depend on these proteins to grow and multiply. By blocking these proteins, this medication slows or stops cancer cell growth and helps prevent the spread of cancer. This targeted approach is particularly effective in lung cancers that have specific genetic mutations affecting these growth-promoting proteins.
