How much does the genuine neratinib/neratinib cost in 2024?

Neratinib/Neratinib is a drug called a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). TKIs belong to a group of targeted therapy drugs called cancer growth inhibitors. Some cancer cells contain too much of the HER2 protein (HER2-positive), which promotes cell growth. Cells obtained during a biopsy or surgery can be tested for HER2. Neratinib can be used to treat HER2-positive breast cancer. It locks the HER2 protein and prevents cancer cells from dividing and growing. Beforethe patient agrees to treatment, the doctor will discuss the treatment and its possible side effects with the patient.

Neratinib is an intracellular kinase inhibitor that irreversibly binds to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), HER2 and HER4. Clinically, oral neratinib inhibited tumor growth in a mouse xenograft model with tumor cell lines expressing HER2 and EGFR. Neratinib is available as an oral tablet. When neratinib is taken alone to treat breast cancer, it is usually taken with food for one year. When neratinib is taken with capecitabine to treat advanced breast cancer or cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, it is usually taken once daily with food on days 1 to 21 of a 21-day cycle until the condition worsens or serious side effects occur. Patients need to take neratinib at approximately the same time every day.
