Koselugo is a carefully developed small molecule MEK inhibitor (also known as a Schengen-activated antagonist) with a focus on precisely targeted therapies for specific tumor types. In particular, it has a good therapeutic effect in the clinical application of neurofibromatosis (NF1).

What is the dosage of Koselugo?

The dosage of Koselugo should be strictly followed by the doctor's instructions, and the specific dosage varies from person to person. In general, its dosage can be understood from the following two points:

1. Initial dose

Depending on the patient's specific situation, the doctor will determine an appropriate initial dose, which is usually controlled within a certain range to ensure that both the therapeutic effect is achieved and the adverse effects are reduced.

2. Dose adjustment

During the course of treatment, the doctor will adjust the dose according to the patient's response and efficacy. If the patient experiences adverse effects or does not respond well, the dose may need to be reduced or increased. Patients need regular follow-up check-ups and close communication with their doctors.

After understanding the correct dosage of Koselugo, we also need to pay attention to the clinical manifestations of its overdose to ensure that the efficacy of the drug is maximized and the risk of adverse effects is reduced.

Clinical manifestations of Koselugo overdose

In Koselugo overdose, patients may develop a series of serious clinical manifestations, including:

1. Cardiotoxicity

Overdose of Koselugo may lead to impaired cardiac pumping function, manifested by palpitations, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and even symptoms of heart failure, such as dyspnea, edema, etc.

2. Central nervous system abnormalities

Some patients may have central nervous system abnormalities such as dizziness, headache, and confusion, which may affect the patient's daily life and life safety in severe cases. These symptoms suggest that Koselugo has had adverse effects on the central nervous system and requires immediate medical attention.

After understanding the clinical manifestations of Koselugo overdose, we also need to pay attention to the management measures of Koselugo overdose.

Measures for the treatment of Koselugo overdose

In the event of an overdose of Koselugo, prompt measures should be taken to ensure patient safety.

1. Discontinue the drug immediately

Dosing should be stopped immediately to prevent further absorption, and the patient's vital signs, particularly cardiac function and central nervous system status, should be assessed.

2. Supportive care

Supportive care, such as rehydration, diuresis to facilitate drug excretion, cardioprotective drugs to reduce cardiac burden, and symptomatic care to relieve the patient's discomfort, is given on a case-by-case basis. Emergency treatment, such as gastric lavage or hemodialysis, may be considered if necessary.

【Warm tips】When patients buy generic drugs, they should choose formal channels to ensure the quality and safety of the drugs. Avoid purchasing counterfeit products from informal sources.
