Afatinib is this oral stuff that’s known to block two growth factor receptors—EGFR and HER2. It’s mainly used for treating a type of lung cancer that has specific EGFR mutations, like the ones in exon 19 or exon 21 L858R. It works by stopping this whole EGFR signaling thing, which is super important for cancer cell growth.
You got three options: 20, 30, and 40 mg. The doc usually goes for 40 mg, taken once a day on an empty stomach. Each bottle comes with 30 of these film-coated Afatinib tablets.
