Afanat 40mg Tablet is an advanced cancer treatment containing afatinib dimaleate, designed to fight non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients with specific genetic mutations. This medication works by targeting and blocking abnormal growth signals in cancer cells, helping to slow disease progression and extend survival. Afanat 40mg is prescribed for patients whose lung cancer has EGFR gene mutations or for those with advanced squamous cell lung cancer that has progressed after chemotherapy treatment. By controlling cancer cell growth, this medicine can help patients maintain better quality of life, reduced pain, and improved physical function over a longer period. Before starting Afanat 40mg Tablet, inform your doctor if you have kidney disease, breathing problems, liver disorders, heart conditions, severe dry eyes, or other eye issues.
Key points
Afanat 40mg Tablet works by inhibiting the activity of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) proteins found on cancer cells. These proteins normally signal cancer cells to grow and spread. By blocking this signaling pathway, afatinib slows or stops the progression of cancer, allowing the immune system to work more effectively against cancer cells.
Afanat 40mg Tablet is an oral medication taken once daily at approximately the same time each day. The tablet should be swallowed whole with water and can be taken with or without food, depending on your doctor's instructions.
