Stage 2 Melanoma - Preventing Nausea when taking Dabrafenib (Tafinlar)
Comments
-
Hi Mike
My wife is taking 150mg twice daily for last 6 months to treat her BRAF V600E disease with unknown primary. She had skin rash and occasional fever, but hardly any nausea. Her prescription includes MEK inhibitor, Trametinib. The combo is known to suppress side-effect and drug resistance. I would talk to the oncologist to include it as well. She takes the capsules at least 1 hour after any snack, and usually at least 1 hour before her breakfast and dinner. Best wishes to our friend and hope this helps.
