Afanat 20mg Tablet is a targeted cancer medication containing Afatinib dimaleate, designed to treat specific types of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This medicine works by blocking proteins that help cancer cells grow and spread. It is prescribed for patients whose lung cancer has specific genetic mutations (EGFR gene abnormalities) or for those with advanced squamous cell lung cancer that has progressed after chemotherapy treatment. Afanat 20mg can help slow cancer progression and extend survival while improving quality of life, including better physical function, reduced pain, and improved emotional well-being. Before starting this medication, inform your doctor about any kidney disease, breathing problems, liver disease, heart conditions, severe dry eyes, or other eye issues. This medicine is not suitable for children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
Key points
Afanat 20mg works by inhibiting the activity of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) proteins on cancer cells. These proteins normally promote cancer cell growth and spread. By blocking their function, this medication helps slow or stop cancer progression, allowing patients to live longer and with better quality of life.
Afanat 20mg Tablet is an oral medication taken once daily at approximately the same time each day. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water—do not crush, chew, or open it, as this reduces its effectiveness. You may take it with or without food.
