Product Description

Erlocip (Erlotinib)

  • Brand name: Erlocip
  • Active Ingeridents(Generic Name) : Erlotinib
  • Company Name:  Cipla
  • Package: 30 tabs
  • Strength: 150mg

Indication:   

It is used to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), pancreatic cancer and several other types of cancer. It is a reversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which acts on the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).

Mechanism of action:

Erlocip (Erlotinib) is an epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor (EGFR inhibitor). The drug follows gefitinib, which was the first drug of this type. Erlocip (Erlotinib) specifically targets the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase, which is highly expressed and occasionally mutated in various forms of cancer. It binds in a reversible fashion to the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding site of the receptor. For the signal to be transmitted, two EGFR molecules need to come together to form a homodimer. These then use the molecule of ATP to trans-phosphorylate each other on tyrosine residues, which generates phosphotyrosine residues, recruiting the phosphotyrosine-binding proteins to EGFR to assemble protein complexes that transduce signal cascades to the nucleus or activate other cellular biochemical processes. When Erlocip (Erlotinib) binds to EGFR, formation of phosphotyrosine residues in EGFR is not possible and the signal cascades are not initiated.

Dosage and Administration:

  • Use Erlocip (Erlotinib) as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
