Medicinal Benefits

Herlapsa Tablet contains Lapatinib as an active ingredient, which is used in combination with capecitabine for treating patients with HER2-positive advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have received prior treatment. This medicine works by inhibiting the excess production of a human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein in the mammalian cells. This causes inhibition of the cancer cell growth and, finally, initiation of apoptosis.
