Afmed 40mg Tablet is a targeted cancer therapy containing afatinib dimaleate, designed to treat advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This medication works by blocking specific proteins that drive cancer cell growth and division. It is prescribed for patients with NSCLC tumors that have certain EGFR gene mutations and for those with metastatic squamous NSCLC that has progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy.
Before taking Afmed 40mg Tablet, inform your doctor if you have kidney disease, breathing problems, liver disorders, heart conditions, severe dry eye, or other eye issues. This medication can help delay disease progression, improve survival rates, and help you maintain better physical function, reduced pain, and improved emotional well-being over a longer period. Contact your healthcare provider if you wear contact lenses or are breastfeeding, as important precautions apply.

Key points
Afmed 40mg Tablet works by inhibiting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) proteins and related proteins in cancer cells. These proteins normally promote uncontrolled cancer cell growth and spread. By blocking their activity, this medication helps slow or stop cancer progression, allowing your body to better manage the disease.
Afmed 40mg Tablet is taken as an oral medication once daily, typically at 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.
