Description
Hernix is a prescription tablet containing neratinib, a HER2 and EGFR kinase inhibitor used for HER2 positive breast cancer, as extended treatment after trastuzumab or, with capecitabine, for advanced disease. It must be used under the supervision of a qualified doctor.
What Is Hernix Used For?
Neratinib is used for HER2 positive breast cancer, as extended treatment after trastuzumab or, with capecitabine, for advanced disease. The US FDA approved neratinib (Nerlynx) for extended adjuvant treatment of early stage HER2 positive breast cancer and, with capecitabine, for advanced or metastatic HER2 positive breast cancer after two or more prior anti HER2 regimens. Your doctor decides whether it is suitable for you.
How Does Neratinib Work?
It blocks HER2 and EGFR proteins irreversibly, which stops growth signals in HER2 positive cancer cells.
Strength and Dosage
Hernix contains neratinib. The exact strength is printed on the pack, so check that it matches your prescription before you order. The dose, schedule and length of treatment depend on your condition, your other medicines and your test results, and your doctor sets them. Never change or stop your dose without medical advice.

Common Side Effects
Side effects reported with neratinib include diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, fatigue, vomiting, rash, mouth sores and reduced appetite. Contact your doctor early if any of these become severe or do not settle.
Important Safety Information
