▧ Absorption :
After oral administration of vemurafenib, it is well absorbed. Bioavailability is unknown. Peak concentrations are reached in 3 hours when an oral dose of 960 mg twice daily for 15 days has been given to patients. Exposure is highly variable between different patients. Gastrointestinal fluid content, pH, volumes, motility, transition time and bile composition may be factors affecting exposure. It is unknown how food affects the absorption of vemurafenib.
Time to steady state = 15 - 22 days
