So, Mavacamten is this thing that blocks certain parts of the heart muscle, and it’s used to treat a condition called obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It works by making the heart muscle less tight. Mavacamten comes in different strengths—like 2.5, 5, 10, or 15 milligrams.
The usual dose for adults is 5 mg a day, but a doctor might tweak it if needed. You gotta take the capsule whole with some water. It comes in bottles with 30 capsules in each one.
You need to watch the patient really closely when they’re on this stuff—check their blood pressure, heart rate, and whether they’re at risk for heart failure. The main ingredient is mavacamten, but it’s not for everyone, especially if they can’t handle their blood pressure going down or are already on other heart drugs. Some side effects might be tiredness, feeling like your heart’s fluttering, and low blood pressure.
Keep the medication in its original container and at room temperature, like between 59 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Always talk to a healthcare professional about how to take this stuff right.
