Tepotinib (Tepmetko) - best time of day to take it?
Lung Cancer | Last Active: 8 hours ago | Replies (9)Comment receiving replies
No, I haven't changed from taking it with breakfast. My dinner time is irregular and supposedly this Tepmetko likes very regular ingestion, with food. Do you have experience with Tepmetko? I'm wondering if I'm supposed to get accustomed to it after a while and my body will do fewer side effects? Right now the side effects are not overwhelming but I was just wondering if it gets better after a few months...

@mangolinda8191 My spouse has taken it for 15 months so far. He takes it after his dinner meal, even though the exact time of dinner can vary. It's less like an antibiotic where the spacing needs to be more exact and more long-term, in my opinion, but don't ask your oncology team. Whether it gets easier? Not really, but it's been incredibly effective against his cancer. He went from a PET that showed metastatic disease in many locations to a PET six months later that showed no evidence of disease. His biggest side effects are edema (gets worse over time, so try to stay on top of it) fatigue, and sometimes nausea. Sending all my best your way. There is an active MET skipping 14 Facebook group, if that's your type of cancer. And MET crusaders online.
