Overview Pivikto 150mg Tablet

Alpelisib 150mg tablets are indicated for treating specific advanced breast cancers: hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative, and PIK3CA-mutated breast cancer that has metastasized. This medication is administered concurrently with endocrine-based cancer therapies. Consistent daily dosing, ideally with food, at the same time, maximizes therapeutic efficacy. Dosage and frequency are determined individually by your oncologist, based on your specific condition and may be adjusted. Adhere strictly to your physician's instructions; incorrect usage or overdosage can lead to severe adverse effects. While benefits may not be immediately apparent (potentially taking weeks or months), discontinue only under medical supervision. Commonly reported side effects include lethargy, reduced appetite, skin rash, nausea, and diarrhea. Alpelisib can also suppress blood cell production (both red and white cells), increasing vulnerability to infections. Report any signs of infection (fever, chills, weakness, unusual bleeding or bruising, epistaxis) to your doctor promptly. Dizziness is another potential side effect; avoid driving or activities requiring alertness if affected. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any pre-existing heart, liver, or kidney conditions, and all medications you are taking (including anti-infectives), as drug interactions are possible. This medication is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding; reliable contraception is mandatory for both partners throughout the treatment period. A patient support program is accessible in India via Tata 1mg; inquire with your doctor or call (1800-102-1618) for further information.
