How much does a box of Vismodegib cost?

Vismodegib (Vismodegib) is approved to treat basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer.它用于疾病已经转移(扩散到身体其他部位)的成年人，也用于患有局部晚期疾病的成年人，这些疾病在手术后复发或不能用手术或放射治疗。 Vimodegib is also being studied in the treatment of other types of cancer.

About 40% of people diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma will develop another basal cell carcinoma within five years of their initial diagnosis. Management is mainly surgical intervention, except in some cases, topical therapy is utilized. Not all patients are candidates for surgery or local therapy due to locally advanced or metastatic basal cell carcinoma; this is where vismodegib fits into the treatment picture. The most common side effects of vismodegib are muscle cramps, hair loss, dysgeusia, weight loss, fatigue, nausea, and diarrhea. Vimodageb should not be used in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or in women who may have children and are not eligible for Vimodageb's special pregnancy prevention plan. It should not be used with St. John's wort, an herbal medicine used to treat depression.
