Pembrolizumab, Indication, Dosage, Side Effect

Indication:

Pembrolizumab is used to treat various types of cancer by helping the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. It’s mainly indicated for cancers like non-small cell lung cancer, melanoma (skin cancer), head and neck cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, and certain types of colorectal and uterine cancers. It is especially used when cancer has spread (metastasized) or cannot be removed by surgery, and in some cases, when other treatments haven’t worked. It works by blocking the PD-1 protein on immune cells, boosting their ability to fight cancer.

Dosage:                               

Pembrolizumab (brand name Keytruda) is typically given as an intravenous (IV) infusion. The common dosage is 200 mg every 3 weeks or 400 mg every 6 weeks, depending on the patient's condition and type of cancer. The treatment duration and schedule depend on how well the patient is responding and if there are any side effects. It’s usually given in a hospital or clinic under supervision, and the infusion takes about 30 minutes.

Note:

Dose may vary based on the specific cancer type (e.g., melanoma, lung, or kidney cancer).

It is not taken at home or as a pill.

Doctors monitor for immune-related side effects (like inflammation in organs).
