Trametinib is a special kind of MEK inhibitor. It’s really good at treating melanoma if you have those BRAF V600E/K mutations, and it works for NSCLC too. So, it’s like a smart therapy that’s aimed at stopping a pathway that cancer cells need to grow and survive.
You can get it in 0.5 mg or 2 mg tablets. Adults usually take 2 mg every day, on an empty stomach if possible for the best results. The tablets come in bottles with 30 units each, making it easier to give and manage doses.
People might get side effects or have drug interactions when they take trametinib. You gotta think about the risks versus the benefits, especially for pregnant folks, those thinking about getting pregnant, or nursing moms.
