How long does a box of Sotoraxibu (AMG510) last?

Sotorasib (AMG510, Sotorasib) is a drug used to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is a targeted therapy. This is the first targeted therapy for the treatment of patients with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have received at least one prior systemic therapy. The quantity and frequency of dosing per box of Sotoraxib depends on the patient's condition and doctor's recommendations. Before using sotoraxib, patients should follow the doctor's prescription and should not increase or decrease the dose or stop taking the medication on their own.

From the perspective of drug specifications, the dosage of the original version of sotorasibu is usually 120mg*240 tablets/box, which means that each box of the drug contains 240 tablets, each tablet is 120mg. However, it is important to note that patients do not take just one tablet at a time, but rather follow the recommended dosage. Regarding dosing, the recommended dose of sotoraxib is 960 mg orally once daily. This means patients need to take 8 tablets (120mg each) at a time to achieve the recommended dose.

Based on the above, the approximate taking time of a box of sotoraxib can be calculated. Since each box contains 240 tablets, and 8 tablets need to be taken daily, one box of medicine can be taken by the patient for about 30 days, provided that the patient does not interrupt or stop taking the medicine due to adverse reactions. This is only a rough estimate, and the actual taking time may be adjusted based on the patient's condition (such as illness, weight, age, etc.) and the doctor's recommendations.

In addition, patients should strictly follow their doctor's instructions while taking sotorasib and avoid adjusting the dosage or discontinuing the drug on their own. At the same time, during the course of taking it, patients also need to pay attention to monitoring their physical condition, making regular follow-up visits, communicating with their doctors, and promptly reporting the effects of medication and possible side effects.
