Erlotinib: Indication, Dosage, Side Effect

Indication:

Erlotinib is a prescription medicine used to treat certain types of cancer, mainly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread and contains specific changes in the EGFR gene (like exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations). It can be used as a first treatment, as maintenance therapy, or after other treatments have failed. Erlotinib is also used in combination with gemcitabine for treating advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. It works by blocking signals that help cancer cells grow.

Dosage:

Erlotinib is usually taken once a day at a dose prescribed by your doctor, often 150 mg daily for lung cancer or 100 mg daily for pancreatic cancer. It should be taken on an empty stomach—at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating—to help the body absorb it properly. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or break it. Taking it at the same time every day helps maintain steady levels in your body for better effectiveness.

Note:

Always follow your doctor’s instructions and never change the dose on your own.

Blood tests and check-ups are needed to monitor side effects and treatment progress.

Let your doctor know if you experience skin rashes, diarrhea, or breathing problems.
