Selpercatinib is a pill used for cancers where the RET gene has been changed or fused. It’s used mostly for certain types of lung and thyroid cancers, along with other tumors where RET has been changed. The drug stops RET kinase from doing its thing.
You can get Selpercatinib in 40 mg or 80 mg pills. You take it two times a day, aiming for a total of 160 mg a day. You can take it with or without eating, and each pack has 60 capsules.
You should take 160 mg, twice a day. Don’t change it based on what you eat. Selpercatinib is a type of cancer drug that blocks tyrosine kinases.
Like other drugs like it, it should only be used if genetic testing shows there’s a RET change. There can be some side effects, like diarrhea, low thyroid, high blood pressure, and vision problems. It’s important to talk to your doctor about these.
You shouldn’t stop or change your dose of Selpercatinib without talking to your doctor. Also, don’t chew, break, or split the pills.
