Venclexta How to Take

Venclexta (Venetoclax) belongs to the group of cancer-fighting medications called antineoplastics. It is used for people with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) who have tried at least one other treatment without success.

CLL is a blood cancer that causes too many white blood cells to be produced and causes them to live too long. Venclexta (Venetoclax) works by blocking the action of a protein in the body that helps cancer cells survive. This helps to kill and lower the number of cancer cells.

Venclexta (Venetoclax) may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Venclexta (Venetoclax) may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here.

Venclexta Dosage

The starting dose of Venclexta (Venetoclax) is 20 mg (2 × 10 mg tablets), taken by mouth, once daily for 7 days.

The gradual increase in dose helps to reduce the chance of experiencing severe side effects. To further reduce the chance of experiencing these side effects, drink at least 1.75 litres of water (7 glasses) each day.
