Overview Herduo Tablet

Herduo tablets treat breast cancer by inhibiting or reducing the proliferation of cancerous cells. This medication is administered either independently or alongside other treatments for advanced breast cancer. Take Herduo on an empty stomach, or one hour before or two hours after eating. Dosage and treatment length are tailored to individual response and disease severity. Precise adherence to the prescribed regimen is crucial to minimize adverse effects. Therapeutic benefits may take weeks or months to manifest; discontinue use only under your physician's direction. Common side effects include nausea, headache, back pain, and respiratory issues. Severe diarrhea necessitates increased fluid intake or medical consultation. Regular blood pressure monitoring is often recommended. Report severe headache, disorientation, visual disturbances, persistent nausea, or vomiting immediately. Liver function tests are typically conducted before, during, and after treatment. Disclose any pre-existing liver or kidney conditions, and all other medications, to your doctor before commencing treatment. Herduo is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation. Reliable contraception for both partners is essential throughout the treatment period to prevent pregnancy.
