Vemurafenib is a pill that’s used to help with melanoma, which is a kind of skin cancer. It zeroes in on a gene called BRAF that’s got a V600E mutation and is linked to melanoma. The drug’s job is to stop that BRAF from sending out signals, which in turn slows down or halts cancer cell growth.
You get Vemurafenib in these tablets that are covered with a film, and each one is 240 milligrams. The doc usually says you should take it twice a day, so that’s four of those tablets. No big deal if you take it with food or not.
They come in bottles with 112 tablets each. Vemurafenib seems to help people live longer without their cancer getting worse and to overall increase their lifespan when they have this melanoma with that BRAF mutation.
