tarceva 150mg

My husband has non-small cell lung cancer and takes Tarseva 150 ml. My question is, can it be used with tarseva, tinctures of herbs on alcohol to 45 drops in 50 ml water. Herbs like wormwood, Japanese pagoda, Chaga, viburnum it all the grain alcohol diluted with water. Our doctor does not give us a qualified answer. Please tell us. Thank you.

Hi there,
Tarseva drug can interact with many other medications and can lead to severe side effects and reactions. It can sometimes lead to decreased efficacy of the drug. Your husband’s treating doctor knows his medical condition best and whether herbs can be given or not. It is best to consult his treating doctor and seek clarifications from him. Do keep me posted on how he is doing.
Best luck and regards!
