Usage

Tykerb (Lapatinib) is a prescription medication used to treat a certain type of breast cancer (HER2-positive) in women who have already had chemotherapy and trastuzumab (Herceptin) as this combination has proven to give people more time before the cancer worsens. The active ingredient in Tykerb is Lapatinib. Lapatinib belongs to a class of medication called antineoplastics, anti-HER2. Tykerb works inside the cancer cell by interfering with certain proteins, called kinases, that can stimulate this uncontrolled growth. This mechanism of action slows and stops the growth of cancer cells.

Side Effects and Precautions

The common side effects of Tykerb are mouth sores, diarrhea, loss of appetite, hair loss, abdominal pain, insomnia, nausea, and vomiting.

Stop using Tykerb and contact your doctor immediately if you have any of the following serious side effects such as:
• Diarrhea that doesn't stop;
• Fast and irregular heartbeat;
• Symptoms suggestive of liver failure such as nausea that doesn't stop, abdominal pain, passage of dark urine, or yellowing eyes

Warnings and Interactions

Before taking Lapatinib, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it or have any other allergies. Tykerb is a tablet that should be used according to your doctor's prescription. You can take Tykerb indefinitely to keep the cancer under control, depending on your doctor's decision. Your doctor would only stop you from taking Tykerb if the cancer stopped responding to it or if you experienced any severe side effects.
