Afayro 20mg Tablet is a targeted cancer medication containing Afatinib dimaleate, used to treat specific types of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This medicine works by blocking proteins that cause cancer cells to grow and spread. Afayro 20mg is prescribed for patients whose lung cancer has particular genetic mutations (EGFR mutations) or for those with advanced squamous cell lung cancer that has progressed after previous chemotherapy treatment.
This medication can help slow disease progression and extend survival time while improving your quality of life. Patients often experience better physical function, reduced pain, and improved emotional well-being during treatment. However, Afayro 20mg Tablet requires careful monitoring and should only be used under direct medical supervision. It is not suitable for children and teenagers under 18 years of age.
Key points
Afayro 20mg Tablet works by inhibiting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) proteins found on cancer cells. These proteins normally signal cancer cells to grow and multiply. By blocking their activity, this medication slows or stops cancer cell growth and helps prevent the cancer from spreading to other parts of your body.
Afayro 20mg Tablet is an oral medication taken by mouth once daily. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water at the same time each day. Your doctor will determine the exact dose based on your condition and how well you tolerate the medication.
