Afamac 40mg Tablet is a targeted cancer medication containing Afatinib dimaleate, designed to treat specific types of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This medicine works by blocking proteins that help cancer cells grow and spread. It is prescribed for patients whose lung cancer has particular genetic changes in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene, as well as for advanced squamous cell lung cancer that has progressed after standard chemotherapy treatment.
This medication requires careful medical supervision and is not suitable for everyone. Before starting Afamac 40mg, inform your doctor about any existing health conditions, medications you're taking, and any allergies. Do not discontinue this medicine without your doctor's guidance, as stopping suddenly may affect your treatment outcome.
Key points
Afamac 40mg works by inhibiting the ErbB family of proteins, which includes EGFR and HER2 receptors. These proteins are often abnormally active in lung cancer cells, causing them to grow and spread rapidly. By blocking these proteins, Afamac slows down cancer cell multiplication and helps prevent the disease from progressing. This targeted approach aims to stop cancer growth while minimizing impact on healthy cells.
Afamac 40mg is an oral tablet taken by mouth once daily at approximately the same time each day. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water—do not crush, chew, or break it, as this reduces its effectiveness. Take this medicine on an empty stomach or at least 3 hours after eating.
