How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (RHAPSIDO). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Remibrutinib is an oral, small molecule kinase inhibitor that inhibits Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK).

BTK is an intracellular protein expressed in mast cells, basophils, B cells, macrophages, and thrombocytes.

The shape is a standard model drawn from the two times above, not a measurement. How fast a medicine acts and wears off also depends on the dose, the form and the person.
How the body breaks it down

Remibrutinib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4.

With food

Effect of food No clinically significant differences in remibrutinib pharmacokinetics were observed following administration of a high-fat meal (1000 calories, 50% fat).
