• ERLOCIP 100MG TABLET 30'S works by targeting a specific protein found on the surface of many cancer cells. This protein is called the epidermal growth factor receptor, or EGFR for short. Think of EGFR as a 'switch' or a 'signal receiver' on the cancer cell. Normally, when growth signals attach to EGFR, they tell the cell to grow and divide. In many types of cancer, EGFR is overactive or mutated, meaning it's constantly sending 'grow and divide' signals, leading to uncontrolled cancer growth and spread. ERLOCIP 100MG TABLET 30'S acts like a 'blocker'. It attaches to the EGFR protein and prevents these growth signals from working. By blocking EGFR's activity, the tablet helps to slow down or stop the growth and spread of cancer cells. This targeted approach is different from traditional chemotherapy, which affects all rapidly dividing cells. Instead, ERLOCIP 100MG TABLET 30'S focuses specifically on the cells where EGFR is driving the growth, offering a more targeted way to fight the cancer.

• When taking ERLOCIP 100MG TABLET 30'S, it is crucial to follow your doctor's instructions precisely. Your doctor will determine the correct dose and duration of treatment based on your specific condition and response. Generally, this medicine should be taken on an empty stomach to ensure proper absorption. This means you should take the tablet at least one hour before eating a meal or wait at least two hours after you have finished eating. Taking it with food might affect how well the medicine works. If you happen to miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double your dose to make up for a missed one. If you accidentally take more ERLOCIP 100MG TABLET 30'S than prescribed, or if you are concerned about a missed dose, it is important to contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately for advice. Never adjust your dose or stop taking the medicine without consulting your doctor.
