Asciminib is a cancer fighter made for treating CML, especially when other treatments didn’t work. This med goes after the ABL myristoyl pocket – a special spot on the ABL protein – which is key in the BCR-ABL fusion that causes CML. You can get this stuff in two doses: 20 mg and 40 mg tablets, which are covered with a special film.
For people with CML, they usually take either 80 mg of this stuff once a day or 40 mg twice a day. The tablets come in bottles with 60 pills in each. You can take this with or without food.
Just follow the dose your doc told you to take. Just a heads-up, the cost of this medicine can differ depending on where you buy it, your insurance, and a few other things.
