Binimetinib is made to block the MEK enzyme, which is especially helpful for melanoma caused by the BRAF V600E/K mutation. It stops the MEK signaling pathway. The drug comes as tablets that are coated and each one has 15 milligrams.
You’re supposed to take 45 milligrams of it, twice a day. Each bottle holds 84 tablets. It’s often taken with encorafenib, which is another kind of BRAF inhibitor, to treat the melanoma that’s caused by BRAF V600E/K mutations.
Binimetinib is a pill you swallow, and you need to take it just like your doctor tells you to. You just need to take the pills whole, and they can be taken with or without food. You got to stick with your treatment plan and tell your healthcare provider about any side effects or health changes you notice.
