Afadel 20mg Tablet is a prescription anticancer medication containing Afatinib dimaleate. It is specifically designed to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients with certain genetic mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). This medicine works by blocking specific proteins that help cancer cells grow and spread, helping to slow or stop cancer progression.
Afadel is used in two main situations: for newly diagnosed NSCLC patients whose tumors have specific EGFR gene mutations, and for patients with advanced squamous cell NSCLC that has progressed after receiving platinum-based chemotherapy. This targeted approach makes it an important treatment option for eligible lung cancer patients.
Before starting Afadel 20mg Tablet, inform your doctor about any existing health conditions, allergies, or medications you are taking. Do not stop taking this medicine without medical guidance, as consistent use is essential for treatment effectiveness.
Key points
Afadel 20mg Tablet works by inhibiting the ErbB family of proteins, which includes EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor), HER2, and related proteins (ErbB3 and ErbB4). Cancer cells depend on these proteins to grow and spread throughout the body. By blocking these proteins, Afadel prevents cancer cells from multiplying and helps slow or stop cancer progression, improving survival outcomes in eligible patients.
Afadel 20mg Tablet is taken by mouth once daily, preferably at the same time each day. The tablet must be swallowed whole with a glass of water—do not crush, chew, or break it, as this reduces its effectiveness.
