ERLOCIP 150

Erlocip 150 Tablet is classified as an ‘anti-cancer’ medication, primarily utilized for the treatment of lung and pancreatic cancers. Lung cancer involves the uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal cells in one or both lungs. These atypical cells fail to perform the normal functions of lung cells and do not form healthy lung tissue. In this condition, lung cells grow uncontrollably, and if not identified early, they may metastasize to other parts of the body, including the brain. Pancreatic cancer refers to the uncontrolled growth of cancerous cells in the pancreas, typically affecting the insulin-producing cells.

Erlocip 150 Tablet contains ‘Erlotinib’, which is part of a class of medications known as ‘kinase inhibitors’. It functions by inhibiting the activity of an abnormal protein that promotes the proliferation of cancerous cells. This mechanism helps to prevent the dissemination of cancerous cells.
