So, vemurafenib is a prescription drug. It’s used to treat melanoma, which is a kind of skin cancer, and it’s specifically for those with the BRAF V600E mutation. It works by stopping the BRAF protein from doing its thing, and this protein usually gets all messed up in melanoma cells.
By doing this, it blocks a pathway that’s really important for cancer cells to grow and live, which is called the BRAF signaling pathway. You should take vemurafenib at 960 mg, twice a day. That’s like four 240 mg tablets.
You take them every twelve hours. You can take these tablets with or without eating. These come in bottles with 112 tablets each.
That’s enough for about a 24-day supply if you’re taking them as directed. Keep taking it until you stop responding to it, your cancer starts getting worse, or the side effects get too bad. You might get some side effects, like skin problems, joint pain, or stuff going on in your tummy.
