Dacoplice 15mg Tablet

Dacoplice 15mg Tablet is a Target therapy based anticancer medication prescribed by the doctor to treat advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with specific EGFR gene mutation. Dacoplice Tablet contains Erlotinib that belongs to the class of tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Erlitinib blocks the abnormal EGFR protein kinase that is responsible for cancer cell growth and proliferation via angiogenesis.

Dacoplice 15mg Tablet is a chemical based targeted anti cancer medication. Like any other chemotherapeutic drug, it also has multiple side effects that range from common to extreme. Consult your doctor, if symptoms persists for longer period of time or if you experience any of the serious side effects.

Dacoplice 15mg Tablet contains Dacomitinib that belongs to irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor class. It covalently binds to Cysteine residues in kinase domains EGFR. As a result, blocking their activation and downstream signalling pathways like RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK and PI3K-AKT. This stops ligand-induced receptor dimerization, autophosphorylation, and signaling cascades that cause EGFR-mutated NSCLC cells to proliferate uncontrollably.
