Generic Afatinib Film-Coated Tablets NSCLC Treatment

Afatinib is a cancer fighter specifically for a type of lung cancer called NSCLC. It targets certain gene changes, like the EGFR 19 deletion or L858R mutation. It falls into the group of drugs that block EGFR and HER2.

You can get it in three doses: 20, 30, or 40 milligrams, all in those shiny tablets. Doctors usually recommend taking the 40 mg dose once every day, on an empty stomach to be most effective. Each pack has 30 pills, and they come in bottles, so you can take them as you need to.

Afatinib’s job is to stop EGFR from sending the wrong signals, which helps keep cancer cells from growing out of control in people with these gene changes.
