So, Mavacamten is this stuff used to treat this thing called obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It does its job by cutting down on how strongly the heart contracts. You can get this drug in four different strengths—2.5, 5, 10, or 15 milligrams—all in capsule form.
The usual starting dose is 5 milligrams once a day, but it can be changed if the person needs it to be. Each bottle comes with 30 capsules. It works by keeping this stuff called cardiac myosin under control—it’s really important for how the heart muscle contracts and can help reduce the worst symptoms of the disease.
