At the same time, patients should avoid taking substances that may affect absorption with food or other medications.

This helps identify potential problems and adjust treatment options promptly.

9. Medication for special groups: Pregnant women, lactating women and patients with other underlying diseases should explain their personal conditions to their doctors in detail before using sotorasibu. The doctor will evaluate the patient's health, weigh the pros and cons, and develop a personalized medication plan based on the specific situation.

In general, patients should maintain close communication with their doctors when using sotoraxib, follow medical instructions, and ensure the effective use of the drug. Doctors will develop the most appropriate treatment plan based on the patient's specific situation to maximize the effectiveness of the drug while minimizing possible side effects.

The original drug of sotorasibu has not yet been launched in China, so patients cannot purchase it domestically and need to purchase sotorasibu through overseas channels. The price of the original version of sotorasibu in Hong Kong, China, with the specifications of 120mg*240 tablets, is around 8 million, and the price of the European version of the original drug with the same specifications is around 4 million, which is relatively expensive. The cheaper ones are the generic drugs marketed abroad. For example, the price of generic drugs in Laos and Bangladesh is around two to three thousand yuan. The price is relatively cheap, and the ingredients of foreign generic drugs are basically the same as the original drugs.
