So, Vemurafenib is this BRAF inhibitor thingy, and it’s mainly used for melanoma when there’s this V600E mutation going on. It works by shutting down BRAF signaling, which is a big deal in how melanoma cells grow. The drug comes in these film-coated tablets, each with 240 mg of the good stuff.
You’re supposed to take 960 mg of the stuff twice a day, so that’s two tablets a time. You can take these tablets with or without eating. Each bottle has 112 tablets, and that’ll last you about 56 doses if you’re taking it every 12 hours.
You usually keep up with the treatment until the cancer gets worse or the side effects get too bad.
