Intuca 150mg Tablet

Intuca 150mg Tablet is a medicine used to treat HER2-positive breast cancer, particularly when the disease has spread to other parts of the body, including the brain. It is typically administered alongside two other medicines—trastuzumab and capecitabine.

This medicine works by blocking HER2, a protein that promotes cancer cell growth. By inhibiting this protein, tucatinib helps slow or stop cancer progression. Intuca 150mg is a targeted therapy rather than chemotherapy, meaning it specifically targets cancer cells whilst causing less damage to healthy cells.

The medicine is prescribed only under medical supervision, and regular monitoring during treatment is necessary to ensure the drug is working safely and effectively.

Common side effects of Intuca 150mg include diarrhoea, fatigue, nausea, and changes in liver enzyme levels. Inform your doctor if you experience any side effects or unusual symptoms during treatment.
