Common questions
What happens if you miss a dose of Alpelisib?
If you miss alpelisib, check how long it has been since your scheduled dose. If it has been 9 hours or less, take your prescribed dose with food. If more than 9 hours have passed, skip that day's dose. Take your next dose at the usual time the next day. Never take two doses to make up for a missed dose. If you vomit after taking it, do not repeat the dose that day. Contact your prescribing team if you miss several doses or side effects keep you from taking it. If your clinician told you to pause treatment, ask them when to restart.
