Asciminib is for treating chronic myeloid leukemia, mainly for people with a specific type of gene rearrangement called the Philadelphia chromosome ( 9q34.1). It’s like a super-targeted lock that blocks a specific protein, keeping it from doing its thing in lots of cell actions.You’ve got two doses of this stuff—20 mg and 40 mg. Both are coated so they’re easier to swallow.
You take it either as one 40 mg pill twice a day or two 40 mg pills, also twice a day, to get your 80 mg dose every day. It comes in a package with 60 of these film-coated tablets.
