This drug called Selumetinib is used for treating a kind of skin disorder called neurofibromatosis type 1 where you’ve got lumpy areas under the skin. It works by blocking something called MEK that tells cancer cells when to multiply. You can get it in two doses, either 10 or 25 mg, but the standard amount to take is 25 mg and you’ll need to take that two times a day.
It’s a good idea to take it without eating, on an empty tummy. This stuff comes in bottles that usually have 60 small pills each. Doctors suggest dosing by body area, meaning 25 mg for each meter squared you measure all over.
The therapy is typically initiated under the supervision of a healthcare professional, who may adjust the dose based on the patient’s response and tolerance. You might have some stuff like itchy rashes, spots like acne, or the runs. So follow the rules your doctor gives you, and tell them fast if you get anything dodgy going on with your medication.
