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. BEFORE YOU USE ERLOTINIB INTEGA _When you must not take it _ Do not take Erlotinib if: - you have had an allergic reaction to Erlotinib or any ingredients listed at the end of this leaflet - the package is torn or shows signs of tampering - the expiry date (EXP) printed on the pack has passed.
