COTELLIC Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is COTELLIC?
COTELLIC is the brand name for cobimetinib oral tablets.
What dosages is COTELLIC available in?
COTELLIC is available as a 20 mg oral tablet.
What is COTELLIC used for?
COTELLIC is a MEK inhibitor that is used to treat:
- Melanoma with certain BRAF mutations that has spread (metastatic) or can’t be removed by surgery, used together with Zelboraf (vemurafenib)
- Histiocytic neoplasms
How does COTELLIC work?
COTELLIC is a kinase inhibitor known as a MEK inhibitor. MEK is a protein in the body that’s important for cell growth. COTELLIC works by blocking the MEK protein. When the medication blocks MEK, cancer cells can’t grow and spread as well. For people with melanoma with a BRAF mutation, COTELLIC is taken with Zelboraf (vemurafenib). The BRAF protein also helps cells grow, and cells can grow too quickly when there’s a BRAF mutation. By blocking two different proteins, COTELLIC and vemurafenib (Zelboraf) work together to stop the growth and spread of cancer better.
How do I take COTELLIC?
The usual dose is 60 mg by mouth once a day for 3 weeks. Then, you’ll take 1 week off from the medication. This is considered one treatment cycle. Repeat the treatment cycle (3 weeks of treatment, followed by 1 week off) for as long as you’re taking the medication.

COTELLIC is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you.
