Overview Herduo Tablet

Herduo tablets are indicated for breast cancer treatment. Their mechanism involves inhibiting or retarding cancerous cell proliferation. This medication is administered either independently or concurrently with other therapies to manage advanced breast cancer. Administer Herduo on an empty stomach, or one hour prior to, or two hours after, eating. Dosage and treatment length depend on disease severity and individual response. Adherence to the prescribed regimen is crucial to minimize adverse events. Therapeutic benefits may not be immediately apparent; discontinue use only upon physician instruction. Common side effects include nausea, headache, backache, and shortness of breath. Severe diarrhea necessitates increased fluid intake or medical consultation. Regular blood pressure monitoring is often recommended. Report severe headache, confusion, visual disturbances, persistent nausea, or vomiting to your doctor. Liver function assessment may be conducted pre-, during, and post-treatment. Disclose any pre-existing liver or kidney conditions, and all other medications, to your physician before commencing treatment. Herduo is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation. Reliable contraception is essential for both partners throughout the treatment period.
