Mekinist Trametinib Tablets In Pakistan
Mekinist is a targeted cancer therapy containing trametinib, used to treat certain types of advanced or metastatic cancers, particularly melanoma with specific genetic mutations such as BRAF V600E or V600K. It may also be prescribed for other cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), when used in combination with other targeted treatments.
Mekinist works by inhibiting MEK proteins in the MAPK/ERK pathway, which are involved in cell growth and division. By blocking this pathway, it helps slow down or stop the growth of cancer cells and can reduce tumor size.
