Capivasertib is a kind of AKT inhibitor that’s used for a type of breast cancer called HR /HER2. It also deals with changes in the PIK3CA, AKT1, and PTEN genes. It stops something called AKT signaling.
This is a big deal in how cancer grows. You can get this drug in two sizes—200 mg and 400 mg. The doc usually tells people to take 400 mg twice a day.
You take the drug for four days in a row, then take a three-day break. Each bottle has 64 pills, which should last you about a month if you’re taking 400 mg. You really need to stick to the schedule they give you so it works best and keeps the side effects down.
