Binimetinib 15mg tablets $120/bottle

Binimetinib, which is a type of MEK inhibitor, is used to treat a specific type of skin cancer called melanoma, along with another medication called encorafenib. It’s designed to stop this ‘MEK’ pathway, which is linked to melanoma’s growth and spread. You take Binimetinib as a tablet coated with a film, and each tablet has 15 mg in it.

The usual amount folks take is 45 mg, and they should have it twice a day. Each bottle has got 84 tablets. The drug works by inhibiting the activity of MEK, a protein kinase that is crucial in the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway, and helps control cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation in melanoma cells.

You take Binimetinib through the mouth, and it targets MEK specifically. Binimetinib might cause some side effects, like being tired, feeling sick, or higher blood pressure, and it can also clash with other drugs. You’ll need to check your liver and kidneys pretty regularly when you’re on this medication.
