Vemurafenib is an oral med, mainly used for a specific type of skin cancer called BRAF V600E-mutated melanoma. It works by stopping something called BRAF protein. This protein’s part of a key signaling system in the body.
It comes in 240mg tablets, covered in a film coating. Doctors usually recommend a total of 960mg per day, divided into two doses—eat ’em with or without food, whichever suits you best. You gotta swallow those tablets whole, don’t chew ’em up.
It usually comes in bottles holding 112 of these tablets. The healthcare provider can change your treatment as needed based on how your body reacts.
