Lapatinib, sold under the brand names Tykerb and Tyverb is a medication used to treat breast cancer.[1] Specifically it is used for HER2 positive breast cancer with either letrozole, trastuzumab, or capecitabine.[1][2] It is taken by mouth.[1]

Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, rash, tiredness, liver problems, itchiness, and hair loss.[1] Other side effects may include QT prolongation, pneumonitis, low platelets, low red blood cells, or low white blood cells.[1] Use in pregnancy may harm the baby.[1] It is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor which blocks HER2/neu and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).[3]

Lapatinib was approved for medical use in the United States in 2007 and Europe in 2008.[1][2] In the United Kingdom 4 weeks of 1,000 mg costs the NHS about £970 as of 2021.[4] This amount in the United States costs about 4,300 USD.[5]
