Caprelsa is available in tablet form, in the following doses: 100 mg and 300 mg.
Caprelsa may be taken with or without food. Dosage reduction may be necessary in the event of severe toxicities or QTc interval prolongation. The starting dose is 200 mg in patients with moderate to severe renal impairment. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember if it is more than 12 hours before the next dose. If it is less than 12 hours before the next dose, skip the missed dose.
