The duration of taking Cobimetinib depends on the medication regimen and individual tolerance, and it is usually recommended to take it at a fixed time to maintain stable blood drug concentration. The specific time can refer to the requirements for combination therapy and the impact of food, but ultimately needs to be adjusted according to medical advice.

1. Suggested time for routine medication

(1) Standard plan: once daily, recommended to be taken at the same time in the morning or evening to avoid missed doses.

(2) Timing of Combination Medication: If used in combination with Velocitinib, both can be taken on the same day, but attention should be paid to the interval between dosing.

2. Relationship with Eating

(1) Food impact: Cobitinib can be taken with food or on an empty stomach, but a high-fat diet may delay absorption.

(2) For gastrointestinal sensitive individuals: If nausea or other reactions occur, it is recommended to take it with meals to reduce irritation.

3 Special circumstances adjustment

(1) After dose adjustment: If the dosage is reduced due to adverse reactions, the original medication period still needs to be maintained.

(2) Time difference handling: When traveling internationally, it is recommended to gradually adjust the medication time, with each change not exceeding 2 hours.

4 considerations for long-term use

(1) Disease progression: Regular evaluation of tumor response is necessary, and if the condition stabilizes or improves, continuous medication may be considered.

(2) Tolerance: Long term use may increase the risk of adverse reactions, such as rash, diarrhea, or cardiac toxicity, and should be closely monitored.

5. Medication plan adjustment

(1) Intermittent administration: Some patients may adopt a plan of stopping medication for 1 week after 3 weeks to reduce side effects.

(2) Dose adjustment: Depending on the severity of adverse reactions, it may be necessary to reduce the dose or suspend treatment.

6 Precautions

(1) Regular check ups: including liver function, electrocardiogram, and ophthalmic examinations, especially for long-term medication users.

(2) Combination therapy: Often used in combination with Velomitinib, attention should be paid to drug interactions.
