So, Selumetinib is a medicine that blocks something called the MEK pathway. It’s used to help people with a condition called NF1 who have these lumpy growths in their nerves, known as plexiform neurofibromas. It comes in pill form, and you can get it in strengths of 10 milligrams and 25 milligrams.
You should take 25 mg per square meter of body surface area, twice a day on an empty belly. Just take the pill with a glass of water—no eating anything before you pop it. Selumetinib is a kind of quick-acting capsule, and each bottle has 60 of them.
It works by blocking the MEK pathway, which can make those growths in people with neurofibromas get smaller. This is meant for adults who haven’t responded to or can’t handle other treatments for their neurofibromas. Keep an eye out for skin cancer, and make sure you get a skin check-up every month.
