What is Mekinist

Mekinist (trametinib) is a cancer medicine that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body.

Mekinist is used alone or in combination with another medicine called dabrafenib (Tafinlar) to treat certain types of cancer in people who have a "BRAF" gene mutation.

Mekinist is for use in treating:

• melanoma (skin cancer) that cannot be treated with surgery or has spread to other parts of the body, or to prevent melanoma from coming back after surgery;

• non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body; or

• advanced or metastatic thyroid cancer that has spread and for which there are no other treatment options.

Warnings

Using Mekinist with dabrafenib may increase your risk of developing a certain type of skin cancer. Ask your doctor about your specific risk. Tell your doctor if you notice new skin symptoms such as redness, warts, sores that will not heal, or a mole that has changed in size or color.

Follow all directions on your medicine label and package. Tell each of your healthcare providers about all your medical conditions, allergies, and all medicines you use.
