Belzutifan is a kind of medicine that’s like a fake inhibitor for something called HIF-2α. It’s mainly used to treat a type of cancer called renal cell carcinoma that’s linked to a disease called VHL. It helps by cutting down the signals that make tumors not get enough oxygen.
You can get it as tablets that are coated and each one is 40 mg. Doctors usually suggest adults take 120 mg of it every day. These tablets usually come in bottles with 90 pills in one.
Belzutifan’s main ingredient is good at changing how something called HIF-2α works. This thing is really important in how RCC grows and gets worse. How it works is by stopping HIF-2α from doing its thing, which helps to cut down on these reactive oxygen things and makes the tumor get more oxygen.
