Koselugo 10mg Capsule

Koselugo 10 mg Capsule contains an active component called Selumetinib. It is a medication used in the treatment of certain types of cancers, particularly melanoma (a type of skin cancer) and other solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer and ovarian cancer, especially in cases where there’s a specific genetic mutation that makes the cancer cells sensitive to MEK inhibitors. It may be prescribed for patients with advanced melanoma that has a specific genetic mutation, often BRAF-mutant melanoma. It has shown promise in treating plexiform neurofibromas, tumors associated with NF1, a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves.

Individuals who have had a severe allergic reaction to Koselugo 10 mg Capsule or any of its components should not take this medication. It may cause harm to an unborn baby, so it is not recommended for use during pregnancy.  Patients with pre-existing heart conditions or a history of heart problems may need close monitoring or might not be suitable candidates for this medication. Older individuals, especially those over 65, may have an increased risk of certain side effects. Close monitoring for adverse reactions is typically recommended after taking this medication. The safety and efficacy of Koselugo 10 mg Capsule in children under specific ages may not be well-established.
