Will taking dabrafenib affect the fetus?

Dabrafenib is a cancer treatment drug whose effects on the fetus have not been clearly established. However, studies have shown that dabrafenib may cause harm to the fetus. Therefore, women should avoid taking dabrafenib during pregnancy or planning a pregnancy. If pregnancy is possible or you are pregnant, tell your doctor immediately. The doctor will evaluate the patient's condition and fetal risk on a case-by-case basis and decide whether the treatment plan needs to be adjusted. Male patients should also use contraception during treatment to avoid the effects of dabrafenib on sperm. In summary, patients should follow their physician's advice during treatment with dabrafenib, especially women and patients planning to have children and should consult their physician before treatment.
