• EGFR-TK Inhibition: Geffon Tablet 10 works by blocking a specific protein called epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK). This protein plays a crucial role in promoting the growth and multiplication of cancer cells.
• Slowing Cancer Cell Division: By inhibiting EGFR-TK, gefitinib effectively slows down or halts the proliferation of cancer cells that have EGFR present on their surfaces.
