培美替尼怎么服用？培美替尼可以使用医保购买吗？

Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare cancer that occurs in the long, thin bile ducts that carry digestive juices from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine. It was developed by Intel Corporation and has been acceleratedly approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of advanced cholangiocarcinoma in adults. The drug blocks the growth and spread of tumors by inhibiting FGFR2 in tumor cells.

So, how to take pemetinib?

Pemetinib is the world's first targeted therapy for cholangiocarcinoma, but the drug also needs to be taken correctly to achieve therapeutic effects. The recommended dose of pemetinib is 13.5mg orally administered daily for 14 consecutive days, and then discontinued for 7 days within a 21-day cycle, and then treatment continues. Pemetinib can be taken until the patient's condition changes or an intolerable reaction occurs. It is important to note that pemetinib tablets should be swallowed whole and may be taken with or without food. It is recommended that patients follow the doctor's instructions and do not change the dosage and usage at will.

So, can pemetinib be purchased with medical insurance?

Pemetinib will be launched in the United States in 2020, but the drug has not yet been launched in China, and naturally it cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance. Patients in need of pemetinib can purchase it abroad, or they can obtain the overseas version of pemetinib through domestic professional overseas medical service agencies such as Medical Companion Travel. Direct mail from the pharmaceutical factory is highly cost-effective, which can reduce the patient's financial burden and at the same time ensure that the drug is genuine. However, the price of overseas drugs is affected by exchange rate fluctuations. For the specific cost of pemetinib and the details of the drug purchase process, it is recommended to consult the medical companion travel service staff. Medical Companion Travel has cooperated with many patients in China and is deeply trusted. The purchase of medicines is guaranteed.
