WHAT COTELLIC IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT COTELLIC IS
Cotellic is an anti-cancer medicine that contains the active substance
cobimetinib.
_ _
WHAT COTELLIC IS USED FOR
Cotellic is used to treat adult patients with a type of skin cancer
called melanoma, that has spread to
other parts of the body or cannot be removed by surgery.
•
It is used in combination with another anti-cancer medicine called
vemurafenib.
•
It can only be used in patients whose cancer has a change (mutation)
in a protein called
“BRAF”. Before starting treatment, your doctor will test for this
mutation. This change may
have led to the development of melanoma.
HOW COTELLIC WORKS
Cotellic targets a protein called “MEK” that is important in
controlling cancer cell growth. When
Cotellic is used in combination with vemurafenib (which targets the
changed “BRAF” protein), it
further slows down or stops the growth of your cancer.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE COTELLIC
