Vemurafenib is a drug used to treat melanoma, especially in people with a BRAF V600E mutation. It stops the BRAF protein from sending signals, which is important for cancer growth and spreading. The drug comes in tablets with a coating and you’re supposed to swallow them.
Each tablet has 240 mg of the stuff, and you usually take 960 mg two times a day. You can take it with or without food, just pick what works best for you and your tummy. You’ll find the tablets in bottles, each with 112 of them.
You can get it cheaper from other countries, like $1 a tablet for a 240-tablet bottle, which helps with the costs. So, for a two-month treatment, you’d need about 528 tablets. They don’t say how big the tablets are in the description.
