Afasted 40mg Tablet is a targeted anticancer 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, making it effective for patients whose lung cancer has certain genetic mutations in the EGFR gene. Afasted 40mg is prescribed for two main situations: NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations and those with advanced squamous cell lung cancer that has progressed despite platinum-based chemotherapy. This precision-targeted therapy helps slow or stop cancer progression by interfering with the cellular pathways that allow cancer cells to multiply and spread.
Key points
Afasted 40mg Tablet works by inhibiting the ErbB family of proteins, including EGFR and HER2. These proteins help cancer cells grow and spread. When certain genes change, they can overproduce these proteins, causing rapid cancer cell multiplication. By blocking these proteins, Afasted 40mg prevents cancer cells from receiving the signals they need to grow, effectively slowing or stopping cancer progression and helping patients achieve better outcomes.
Afasted 40mg Tablet is an oral medication taken once daily at approximately the same time each day. For best absorption, take the tablet on an empty stomach or wait at least 3 hours after eating. Always follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and do not adjust your dose without medical guidance.
