Posted on Tue, 15 Sep 2015
Question: I'm taking tarceva as a maintenance drug after taking chemo. It's given the acne side effects on my face and chest. Now I'm having it vaginally. This after the dosage went from 150 mg down to 75 mg. I also read that I should not have diary products. Is this true?
