What is the correct usage and dosage of Ixazomib and how to use it?

Ixazomib is used to treat multiple myeloma (bone marrow cancer) in adults in combination with chemotherapy lenalidomide and dexamethasone. This combination is often used after at least one other cancer drug has failed. Ixazomib should not be used to treat people who are receiving maintenance therapy or who are newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma unless they are participants in a controlled clinical trial.

The starting dose of ixazomib is 4 mg orally once a week on days 1, 8 and 15 of a 28-day treatment cycle. Duration of treatment:Until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible, but if the next dose is due within 72 hours (3 days), skip the missed dose and do not take two doses at once.

Follow all directions on your prescription label, and read any medication guides or inserts. Your doctor may occasionally change the dose, just follow the directions. If you have had chickenpox or shingles in the past and taking ixazomib can cause the virus to become active again, you may be given antiviral drugs to prevent shingles. Take all medications carefully following your doctor's dosage instructions, take ixazomib at the same time each day on an empty stomach, and at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Do not take dexamethasone at the same time as ixazomib. Dexamethasone should be taken with food, and ixazomib should be taken without food. Swallow ixazomib capsules whole; do not crush, chew, break or open them; drink with a full glass of water. If you vomit soon after taking ixazomib, do not take another dose until your next scheduled dose. Do not use damagedixazomibcapsules. The medicine in the capsules can be dangerous if it gets into the eyes or skin. If this happens, wash your skin with soap and water or flush your eyes with water.
