The dosing and dosing recommendations for apellix should be adjusted on an individual basis and should be determined by the physician.
The standard dose of Alpelisib is 300 mg once daily with two 150 mg film-coated tablets. It is recommended to take it with a meal to improve the absorption of the drug.
If you miss a dose of apelix, you can take that dose with a meal within 9 hours of the usual time of taking the dose. If it is more than 9 hours, skip the dose for the day and take it at the normal time the next day.
The Dosage and Dosage Instructions for Alpelisib provide general advice. Patients should discuss with their doctor how to adjust the use of the method according to their individual situation. Medication modification for special populations is also important when using Apelix.
In certain populations, the regimen of apellix may need to be specifically modified.
In the trial, patients over 65 years of age had a higher incidence of hyperglycaemia, but there was no significant difference in efficacy. There are insufficient data in patients over 75 years of age to fully assess efficacy.
The effect of severe renal impairment on Alpelisib is unclear. Patients with mild to moderate renal impairment do not need to adjust the dose.
Medication modification in special populations is essential for successful treatment. Below we will describe the possible adverse effects when using Apelix.
There may be some side effects associated with the use of Apelix, and the following are the common adverse reactions.
