Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Zelboraf (Vemurafenib) is a medication that helps fight cancer. It works by blocking a specific enzyme in the body known as B-Raf, which is important for cancer cell growth. By stopping this enzyme, Zelboraf helps to slow down or even kill cancer cells. This drug is mainly used to treat advanced melanoma, a type of skin cancer, especially in patients whose cancer has a specific change in their genes called the BRAF V600E mutation. Zelboraf comes in the form of tablets that you take by mouth. It can also be used to treat Erdheim-Chester Disease, which is a rare type of blood cancer.
Zelboraf is typically taken twice a day, around 12 hours apart. It's important to swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, and you may take it with or without food. If you miss a dose and it's less than four hours until the next one, skip the missed dose. The standard dosage often starts at 960 mg twice a day, but it may be adjusted based on individual response and tolerability. Follow the doctor's instructions carefully and do not change the dosage without consulting them.
Zelboraf contains the active ingredient Vemurafenib.
Zelboraf's drug label does not specify any particular contraindications. However, it might not be the right choice for everyone. If you know you are allergic to Vemurafenib or any of its ingredients, you should avoid taking this medication.
Zelboraf commonly causes side effects such as joint pain (arthralgia), rashes, hair loss (alopecia), and fatigue. Other frequent reactions include increased sensitivity to sunlight, nausea, itching (pruritus), and small skin growths known as papillomas. These side effects are often mild and manageable but should be discussed with your healthcare provider if they worsen.
In patients with Erdheim-Chester Disease, common side effects include joint pain, maculo-papular rashes, hair loss, and fatigue. Additionally, prolonged QT intervals, which affect heart rhythm, and skin papillomas may occur. If you experience heart-related symptoms, severe skin reactions, or persistent fatigue, contact your doctor for further evaluation.
