Can I take dabrafenib if I have high uric acid?

High uric acid may be a consideration during dabrafenib treatment because dabrafenib may increase uric acid levels. Before taking dabrafenib, patients should inform their doctor about high uric acid levels. Physicians will evaluate the patient's uric acid level, condition, and treatment needs and determine whether it is appropriate to continue or initiate dabrafenib treatment on a case-by-case basis. If a patient has a problem with high uric acid, their doctor may recommend adjusting the dose of dabrafenib or concomitant uric acid-lowering therapy. During treatment, doctors will monitor the patient's uric acid levels and adjust the treatment plan as needed. In summary, patients should provide their doctor with a detailed medical history and symptom description before taking dabrafenib so that the doctor can develop the most appropriate treatment plan for them.
