What is binimetinib used for?
binimetinib is a MEK inhibitor and is used for the following:

How does binimetinib work?
binimetinib is a kinase inhibitor known as a MEK inhibitor. The MEK protein is part of a whole chain of proteins that help cells grow. By blocking MEK, this medication helps stop tumor growth. binimetinib is taken together with an anticancer medication called Braftovi (encorafenib) that specifically targets another protein in this chain (the BRAF protein). When the BRAF protein is mutated, the cancer grows uncontrollably and can spread more quickly. By blocking two different proteins in this pathway, binimetinib and Braftovi (encorafenib) work together to stop the cancer from growing and spreading.

binimetinib is typically dosed at 45 mg by mouth twice a day (about 12 hours apart). Your dose might differ if you have moderate or severe liver problems. Your provider might also recommend taking a lower dose if you have certain side effects.
