Tarsinib 150mg Tablets Ingredients and Usage

Tarsinib 150mg Tablets contain erlotinib, an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor. This targeted drug class blocks the epidermal growth factor receptor, a protein that drives cancer cell growth. Doctors prescribe Tarsinib as first line treatment for advanced non small cell lung cancer with EGFR activating mutations.

Tarsinib also treats lung cancer that stays stable after chemotherapy and metastatic pancreatic cancer alongside gemcitabine. The usual lung cancer dose is one 150mg tablet once daily. Patients take Tarsinib on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after food.

How Does Tarsinib 150mg Tablets Work?

Tarsinib works by blocking the epidermal growth factor receptor, known as EGFR, on the surface of cancer cells. EGFR normally tells cells to grow and divide, and many tumours overuse this signal. By targeting it, Tarsinib slows the cancer.

Erlotinib reversibly inhibits the tyrosine kinase part of EGFR, the switch that activates the growth signal inside the cell. Blocking this switch stops the chain reaction that lets cancer cells multiply and survive. As a result, Tarsinib limits tumour growth and spread, especially in EGFR mutated cancers.

Tarsinib 150mg Tablets Side Effects

Tarsinib most often causes an acne type skin rash and diarrhea, which usually appear in the first weeks. Most effects are manageable, though some need dose changes.

• Acne type skin rash

• Diarrhea

• Loss of appetite and nausea

• Fatigue

• Mouth sores (stomatitis)

• Abdominal pain and indigestion

• Dry skin and itching

Warnings

• Tarsinib can cause interstitial lung disease, a serious and sometimes fatal lung inflammation, so report new or worsening breathlessness or cough at once.

• Tarsinib can harm the liver, so doctors monitor liver function and watch for jaundice, dark urine, or upper abdominal pain.

• Smoking lowers erlotinib levels by 50 to 60 percent, so patients should stop smoking to keep the medicine effective.

• Acid reducing drugs such as proton pump inhibitors lower erlotinib absorption and may weaken its effect.

• Antifungals and other CYP3A4 affecting drugs can change erlotinib levels, so tell your doctor about all medicines you take.

• Tarsinib can harm the fetus, so patients must avoid pregnancy and use effective contraception during treatment.
