Vismodegib: Indication, Dosage, Side Effect
Indication:
Vismodegib is used to treat advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC), a common type of skin cancer that has either spread (metastasized) or cannot be removed with surgery or treated with radiation. It targets and blocks the Hedgehog signaling pathway, which plays a key role in the growth of BCC cells. By stopping this pathway, Vismodegib helps slow down or stop the cancer from growing.
Dosage:
Vismodegib is an oral medication used to treat advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC), a type of skin cancer. The standard adult dose is 150 mg once daily, taken by mouth, with or without food. It should be taken at the same time each day and continued as long as it is effective and side effects are manageable. Vismodegib works by blocking the Hedgehog signaling pathway, which is overly active in BCC and helps the cancer grow.
