KISQALI patient portrayal.

KISQALI single-strength tablets make dose reduction simple and convenient

Dose reductions with KISQALI mean no need for new mid-cycle prescriptions or additional costs

Starting dose: 3 tablets (600 mg). 1st reduction: 2 tablets (400 mg). 2nd reduction: 1 tablet (200 mg).

For patients with HR+/HER2- mBC,

  • KISQALI is given as 600 mg (3 x 200-mg tablets) orally, once daily (3 weeks on, 1 week off) with either1:

    • An AI once daily (continuously); in men and premenopausal women, an LHRH agonist should also be administered according to current clinical practice guidelines; or 

    • Fulvestrant 500 mg intramuscularly on Days 1, 15, and 29, and once monthly thereafter; in men and premenopausal women, an LHRH agonist should also be administered according to current clinical practice guidelines

  • Dose adjustments for adverse reactions should be made in a stepwise order by reducing the number of tablets taken1

  • Dose modification of KISQALI is recommended based on individual safety and tolerability1

  • If dose reduction below 200 mg/day is required, discontinue treatment1

  • KISQALI can be taken with or without food1
