Alpelisib is a drug that’s made to zero in on PI3K, a protein that plays a big role in breast cancer, particularly in the types that are HR /HER2 and have PIK3CA mutations. You can get this inhibitor in three doses: 50, 200, or 300 mg, all in those easy-to-swallow film-coated tablets. The go-to dose for it to work right is 300 mg, taken once a day, and it’s best to have it with something to eat.
It comes in blister packs with 28 tablets each, so you can keep on track with your doses. They picked the tablet dose just right to make sure it works well and doesn’t cause too many side effects, taking into account your weight, kidney health, and general health. Keeping an eye on how the drug is working and dealing with any bad stuff it might cause is really important for treating it right.
