Having taken Tarceva for 15 months now i would like to supply this piece of information which may help new users of the drug.
As this is a chemotherapy drug which does cause tiredness i have found that taking tarceva about an hour before going to bed is the best time ,this way you are not suffering fatigue during the day, Also with the rash take Docecycline ( antibiotic) 2 for the 1st day then 1 daily after that. use a moisturizer on the affected area , it does take your body time to adjust to the drug and the rash does lessen dramatically over time with the occasional flare up.
