What diseases is Koselugo suitable for?

Koselugo is a small molecule MEK inhibitor (figogen activation inhibitor) that is mainly used for the treatment of certain types of tumors, especially in the treatment of neurofibromatosis (NF1).

What diseases is Koselugo suitable for?

The following is a detailed description of the types of diseases for which Koselugo is suitable for taking:

1. Patients with neurofibromatosis (NF1).

This is particularly true for patients aged 3 years and older with symptomatic and inoperable plexiform neurofibromas (PN). Koselugo can effectively inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells and improve quality of life.

2. Patients with specific types of cancer

For example, in patients with low-grade serous ovarian or peritoneal cancer, who do not respond well to conventional chemotherapy but have MEK gene mutations, Koselugo provides a new treatment option by blocking a key step in the MAPK pathway.

Patients should consult with their doctor before taking the drug to ensure that the medication is appropriate for the patient's specific situation and to be concerned about possible adverse effects.

What are the adverse effects of Koselugo?

The following adverse reactions may occur during the use of Koselugo:

1. Fatigue

Patients may experience constant physical fatigue and weakness.

2. Peripheral edema

Manifests as swelling of certain parts of the body (e.g., ankles, calves).

3. Creatine kinase is elevated

This can lead to muscle pain or weakness, and in severe cases, serious complications such as rhabdomyolysis.

4. Headaches

This may be due to the central nervous system acting on the drug or triggering vasomotor headache. Mild headaches resolve spontaneously, but persistent, severe headaches raise suspicion of increased intracranial pressure.

In the process of use, Koselugo is also = accompanied by a series of adverse reactions, and there are also some precautions that should be paid attention to.
