Your length of treatment with Rydapt depends on the condition you’re taking it to treat.
If you have acute myeloid leukemia, you won’t take Rydapt long term. Instead, you’ll take it for up to six cycles of treatment. (And it’s taken in combination with chemotherapy.) Each treatment cycle is usually 21 days long.
If you have mastocytosis, you may take Rydapt long term. But that depends on how well the drug is working for you, and whether you have serious or bothersome side effects. Your doctor will monitor how well Rydapt is working, and they’ll check for certain side effects by having your blood tested regularly.
If you have more questions about how long you may need to take Rydapt, talk with your doctor.
