Erlocip-100 containing the active ingredient erlotinib is considered a tyrosine kinase inhibitor type of medication. The medication works by interfering with the protein epidermal growth factor to prevent it from activating enzymes certain cancer cells require to grow and multiply. The tablets can be used along with other medications or other types of cancer treatment to treat non-small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer that has spread to nearby tissues or to other parts of the body.

How To Erlocip 100mg Work?

Erlocip tablets 100mg contain erlotinib, a potent inhibitor of tyrosine kinase, an enzyme that phosphorylates a protein inside a cell, which is the way many cell processes are regulated.  Tyrosine kinases (TK) are cell surface receptors for many cellular messengers including growth factors and erlotinib in Erlocip tablets 100mg acts as a potent inhibitor of the Epidermal Growth Factor receptor (EGFR).  EGF stimulates cell growth, proliferation and differentiation in normal cells.  It acts by binding with high affinity to its cell surface receptor EGFR, which belongs to the TK family of receptors.  When EGF binds to EGFR, the receptor undergoes a shape change, which activates TK activity by phosphorylation of its substrates within the cell and this is the first step in a complex cell signalling pathway involved in cell proliferation and survival.  Normally EGFR activation is regulated and therefore, cell proliferation is controlled and programmed cell death (apoptosis) takes place.  However, the mutation associated with NSCLC leaves the receptor in a state that is constantly activated or turned on (constitutively activated) even when EGF is not bound to the receptor.  This results in cells that are stimulated to constantly proliferate and survive leading to NSCLC.  Over-expression of the EGFR is thought to be associated with malignant transformation and metastasis of pancreatic cancer, due to the pancreatic cells being over stimulated to proliferate and grow.  Erlotinib in Erlocip tablets 100mg works by blocking the intracellular phosphorylation of EGFR, which blocks the signalling pathway for cell proliferation and survival in NSCLC cells and pancreatic cancer cells.  This action of Erlotinib in Erlocip tablets 100mg blocks the proliferation of the tumour cells and induces cell death, which results in tumour regression.

• are taking medicines that interact with Erlocip, including corticosteroids and NSAIDs for pain and inflammation, statins for high cholesterol, anticoagulants like warfarin, the immunosuppressant cyclosporine, verapamil for hypertension, proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole, antifungals like ketoconazole, antibiotics like ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, clarithromycin, rifampicin, anticonvulsants like phenytoin, carbamazepine, ranitidine for reflux

Erlocip 100mg Dosage

Uses of Erlocip 100mg

Erlocip tablets 100mg are used to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which is the most common form of lung cancer and grows more slowly than small cell lung cancer (SCLC).  NSCLC is associated with a mutation in the gene for Epidermal Growth Factor receptor (EGFR)1 and treatment of NSCLC with Erlocip tablets 100mg is only effective where an EGFR mutation is present in the tumour cells2.  Erlocip tablets 100mg are used for the treatment of locally advanced (stage III) or metastatic (stage IV) NSCLC either as first-line treatment, as monotherapy maintenance treatment for stable disease after 4 cycles of standard platinum-based first-line chemotherapy or after failure of at least one prior chemotherapy regimen.  Erlocip tablets 100mg are also used to treat locally advanced, unresectable (inoperable) or metastatic pancreatic cancer in combination with gemcitabine, an anti-cancer drug used for chemotherapy.  Advanced pancreatic cancer has a very poor survival rate and Erlocip tablets 100mg in combination with gemcitabine can improve the survival rate.
