Selumetinib is a medication used to treat a condition called neurofibromatosis type 1. It helps by focusing on certain types of tumors known as symptomatic plexiform neurofibromas. The way it works is by blocking a specific pathway in the body, called MEK signaling, which is really important in how this disease grows.
The medication is available in two dosage strengths: 10 mg and 25 mg, with the recommended dose being 25 mg twice daily, to be taken on an empty stomach. Each bottle comes with 60 capsules. It’s super important to take it as your doctor says to, at the right time, so it can work the best.
