What is Erbitux?

Erbitux is an FDA-approved prescription medication used to treat certain types of colorectal cancer. It may also be used to treat certain types of head and neck cancer. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors. The active ingredient in this medication is cetuximab, which works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells.

Erbitux is given by injection into a vein, usually once weekly or every 2 weeks, by a healthcare professional. The first dose, known as the loading dose, is larger and given over two hours. All other doses are smaller and are given over a period of one hour. Your doctor may also administer diphenhydramine before you receive Erbitux to lessen the chance of side effects. 

A healthcare professional should observe you for at least one hour after your infusion to ensure that you do not have an infusion reaction. Talk to your doctor directly for more information about this medication. Before taking Erbitux, tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions and medical history. Tell your doctor if you are allergic to mouse protein or red meat, or if you have ever been bitten by a tick. You will need frequent medical tests while you take Erbitux and for at least 8 weeks after the last dose.
