Erlonat 100mg tablet is a prescription anticancer medicine containing Erlotinib as an active constituent. The medicine is prescribed for the treatment of cancer, a disorder characterized by cells multiplying in the body in an uncontrolled and abnormal manner.

Uses of Erlonat 100mg Tablet

The Erlonat 100mg tablet is prescribed for lung cancer and pancreatic cancer.

Lung cancer occurs due to the uncontrolled growth of cells in the lung. The most common form of lung cancer is non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Cigarette smokers are at higher risk of developing lung cancer. A persistent cough followed by shortness of breath is the most common symptom of NSCLC. Lung cancer cells spread and travel through the bloodstream to distant regions of the body, where they continue growing.

Erlonat 100mg tablets are prescribed for treating non-small-cell lung cancer. It is prescribed alone or in combination with other medicines. The medicine is potent and very toxic. Hence, it is advised that you discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor before taking the medicine. Avoid drinking alcohol while having this treatment. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.

Pancreatic Cancer: The cancer is a kind of tumor in the pancreas, a gland behind the stomach responsible for producing juices for breaking down food and hormones for controlling blood sugar levels. Pancreatic cancer usually starts within the cells of the juice.

Erlonat 100mg tablets will help control pancreatic cancer. It relieves symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, lack of appetite, etc. The medicine also helps to stop the action of chemicals that promote pancreatic cancer growth and spread. It improves quality of life and helps patients live a longer and healthier life.
