Alpelisib is an inhibitor for HR /HER2breast cancer with PIK3CA mutations. It works by focusing on something called PI3K signaling. You’re supposed to take 300 mg of it every day with your meals.
You can get it in 50 mg, 200 mg, or 300 mg strengths, all in these coated pills. The tablets come in packs of 28. Take it in the morning, whether you eat or not, and just swallow the pill with water.
You’ve got to follow the instructions from your doc, okay? Never just stop taking it unless your doc says so. If you miss a dose, don’t take two to make up for it. And remember to stick with the treatment plan your doctor gave you.
You might deal with things like diarrhea, nausea, feeling tired, and high blood pressure. Your blood sugar levels should be checked often, because alpelisib can make them go up. You should eat right and keep a good lifestyle.
