Afasted 20mg Tablet is a targeted cancer treatment containing Afatinib dimaleate, designed to fight non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This medication works by blocking specific growth signals that help cancer cells multiply and spread. It is prescribed for patients whose lung cancer has particular genetic mutations in the EGFR gene, as well as for advanced squamous cell lung cancer that has progressed despite previous chemotherapy treatment.
This is a prescription medication that requires careful medical supervision. Before starting Afasted 20mg, inform your doctor about your complete medical history, current medications, and any allergies. This medicine is not suitable for everyone, including pregnant women, nursing mothers, patients with certain health conditions, and those under 18 years old.
Key points
Afasted 20mg Tablet works by inhibiting the ErbB family of proteins, which includes EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) and HER2. These proteins normally signal cancer cells to grow and divide. In certain lung cancers, mutations in the genes controlling these proteins cause them to work excessively, fueling cancer growth. By blocking these protein signals, Afasted 20mg slows down or stops cancer cell multiplication and helps prevent the disease from progressing.
Afasted 20mg Tablet is taken orally as a complete tablet once daily at the same time each day. Proper administration is important for the medication to work effectively and be absorbed correctly by your body.
