Erlonat 100 mg can be used along with another treatment called gemcitabine if you have cancer of the pancreas at a metastatic stage. It contains the active ingredient Erlotinib, which effectively treats cancer by stopping the action of a protein called EGFR, also known as an epidermal growth factor. EGFR is a protein responsible for the growth and spread of cancer cells. Each tablet contains 100 mg of Erlotinib and needs to be taken at least an hour before or two hours after consuming food. Discuss with your doctor if you have renal impairment as you may require dose adjustment. The safety and efficacy of this anticancer agent have not been established in patients under the age of 18 years. In clinical trials, smoking has been shown to reduce Erlotinib exposure by 50-60%. Speak to your doctor for the maximum dose limit.Â
The usual dose is one tablet of Erlonat 100 mg each day if you have metastatic pancreatic cancer. Take the tablet on an empty stomach. It is given in combination with gemcitabine treatment. Always take your anticancer drug exactly as your doctor has told you. You must speak to your doctor if you have any doubts about the usage of the medicine. Let your doctor know if you accidentally take too many tablets. You may have side effects, and your doctor may ask you to discontinue treatment for some time immediately. It is important to keep taking it daily as long as your doctor has prescribed it to you. If you have further questions regarding the usage of this anticancer drug, talk to your doctor.

EGFR mutation-positive status must be confirmed before starting first-line Erlonat monotherapy. The cancer drug has not been studied in patients with severe liver and kidney disorders.
