Avapritinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets specific mutations in cancer cells, helping to slow down or stop their growth.

Precautions:

• Regular monitoring of liver function, blood counts, and blood pressure is necessary during treatment.
• Inform your doctor if you have a history of bleeding disorders, liver disease, or cardiovascular issues.
• Avapag can cause severe bleeding, so it's important to avoid activities that increase the risk of injury.
