WHAT ERLOTINIB INTEGA IS
USED FOR?
ERLOTINIB intega contains the
active ingredient erlotinib.
ERLOTINIB intega is indicated
for adults. This medicine can be
prescribed to you if you have non-
small cell lung cancer at an
advanced stage. It can be
prescribed as initial therapy if your
cancer cells have specific EGFR
mutations. It can also be prescribed
if your disease remains largely
unchanged after initial
chemotherapy, or if previous
chemotherapy has not helped to
stop your disease.
ERLOTINIB intega is also used in
combination with
_gemcitabine_
for
the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
This medicine is available only
with a doctor's prescription.
HOW ERLOTINIB INTEGA WORKS?
As a targeted cancer treatment,
Erlotinib targets a specific protein
on the surface of the cancer cells
called EGFR/ HER1 (epidermal
growth factor receptor 1). It slows
or blocks the activity of EGFR and
may cause the cancer cells to die,
with potentially less damage to
normal cells. However, the way
Erlotinib works to treat cancer is
not fully known.
