Recommendation against dry skin when on Tagrisso

Posted by nicolaidk @nicolaidk, Sep 6, 2023

My wife is currently on Tagrisso 80 mg and discovered that collagen powder (that you mix in liquid) works wonders against dry skin. Just thought I would share.
Have a wonderful day.

Thank you for sharing this. It took 3 years for anyone at Mayo to suggest anything but CeraVe or Vani Cream for treatment dry skin-. After 3 urs a wonderful hospital (!) nurse recommended Aquaphor. This works, too, but I’m guessing collagen is more beneficial. Again, thx!

Hope it helps you. It certainly did wonders for my wife.

You will see effect after 3 months and significant effect after 6 months

Our bodies make collagen from a diet rich in amino acids from protein in fish, bone broth, & meat.

Thanks for this. Collagen also helps with nail splitting - as do biotin gummies.

Is this recommendation for collagen to drink? What is recommended externally for extreme dry skin from Tagrisso?

Put in my recommendation, guess it didn't go through. Glacial Base Moisturizing Cream purchased at pharmacies or Costco works wonders.

Correction: Glaxal Base (not Glacial). Sorry!
