LapatinibProduct Description
Tykerb 250mg Tablet contains lapatinib, a targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in the treatment and management of certain advanced breast cancers. Lapatinib works by blocking key proteins involved in cancer cell growth and survival, including human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and related signalling pathways, which helps slow disease progression and inhibit tumour proliferation. Tykerb is prescribed under specialist oncology supervision and is used in combination with other anticancer medicines such as capecitabine for patients with advanced or metastatic HER2‑positive breast cancer who have received prior therapy, and in combination with letrozole for postmenopausal women with hormone receptor‑positive, HER2‑positive metastatic breast cancer when hormonal therapy is indicated. Dosage and schedules are tailored by the oncologist based on patient condition and response to treatment.
