Tykerb 250mg Tablet (Generic Equivalent)

Generic Tykerb 250mg Tablet contains Lapatinib as its main active ingredient. It is an anticancer drug that is used to treat cancers and tumors such as lung cancer and breast cancer. This medication is used mainly for metastatic breast cancer (HER2 Receptor) alongside chemotherapy drugs. It is a receptor inhibitor, specifically a TKI (tyrosine kinase inhibitor). It works by blocking the receptors of the cancer, stopping its growth and any advancements through new blood vessels, and shrinking the existing ones. It works by stopping the cancer from further growth while the already-grown cancer is eliminated through chemotherapy or surgery.
