So Belzutifan, it’s a special kind of drug. It targets this thing called Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 2 (HIF-2). They use it to help deal with RCC, a type of cancer that’s connected to VHL syndrome.
And how it does its job? By cutting down the tumor hypoxia signals, you know, those signals that RCC tumors rely on to grow. You get it as 40 mg pills. But hey, they suggest you take 120 mg each day.
They usually come in a bottle with 90 of these tabs. The dosage depends on how your kidneys are doing, though. Now, you gotta be super careful with this stuff.
Best to have a doc or a healthcare professional keeping an eye on it for you, just to make sure you’re on the right dosage and to check out for any side effects. Since it’s a prescription drug, you’d get it through your healthcare provider. And the price? That depends on your insurance and where you buy it from.
