Afinitor 5mg Tablet contains everolimus, a targeted cancer medicine that works by blocking a protein called mTOR, which controls abnormal cell growth. This prescription medication is used to treat several types of advanced cancer, including breast cancer, kidney cancer, and pancreatic tumors, as well as a specific type of brain tumor. Afinitor works by slowing the growth of cancer cells and helping to reduce tumor size, which can improve treatment outcomes for patients with these serious conditions.
During treatment with Afinitor 5mg, your body's ability to fight infections may be reduced, so it's important to watch for signs of fever, chills, or persistent cough. This medicine can also cause mouth sores, so maintaining excellent oral hygiene and regular dental visits are essential. You must also protect your skin from sun exposure by wearing protective clothing and sunscreen, as this medication may increase skin cancer risk. Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice entirely, as they can interfere with how this medicine works in your body.
This tablet is not suitable for children and adolescents under 18 years old. Your doctor will monitor your blood counts, kidney function, liver health, and blood sugar levels regularly throughout your treatment to prevent serious complications.
Key points

By blocking mTOR activity, this medication slows the growth of abnormal cancer cells and helps shrink tumors. This targeted approach allows the drug to interfere with the cancer cell's ability to multiply while affecting normal cells less directly, making it an effective treatment for various advanced cancers.
