Tafinlar (dabrafenib) is a kinase inhibitor approved for multiple BRAF V600-mutated cancers, including unresectable or metastatic melanoma as a single agent, and in combination with trametinib (Mekinist) for melanoma (including adjuvant treatment), metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, anaplastic thyroid cancer, and unresectable or metastatic solid tumors and low-grade glioma in pediatric patients one year and older.
Tafinlar selectively inhibits mutated BRAF kinase (V600E and V600K variants), blocking abnormal signaling in the MAPK pathway that drives tumor growth in cancers carrying this specific genetic mutation.
Tafinlar is used across multiple BRAF V600-mutated cancer types, in both adult and pediatric populations depending on the specific indication, always requiring confirmation of the BRAF mutation through appropriate testing.
The recommended adult dose of Tafinlar is 150 mg (two 75 mg capsules) taken orally twice daily, at least one hour before or two hours after a meal, generally in combination with trametinib depending on the specific indication.
Tafinlar does not carry a formal FDA boxed warning. However, patients and prescribers should be aware of the following important safety information.
New primary malignancies, both cutaneous (such as squamous cell carcinoma) and non-cutaneous, can occur. Regular skin examinations are recommended before and during treatment.
BRAF mutation status should be confirmed before starting Tafinlar, as it can accelerate tumor growth in cancers without a BRAF V600 mutation.
Serious bleeding events have been reported. Left ventricular ejection fraction should be assessed before and periodically during treatment to monitor for cardiomyopathy.
Eye inflammation (uveitis) and severe skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, have been reported and require prompt evaluation.
Blood glucose should be monitored, particularly in diabetic patients. Tafinlar may cause fetal harm, and effective contraception should be used during treatment.
Step 1 – Search & request your medicine: The patient or treating doctor submits a request with basic details to initiate the access process.

Tafinlar is manufactured and marketed by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. It is sourced through authorized distribution channels for patients seeking named-patient import into India. Tafinlar is often prescribed alongside Mekinist (trametinib) as part of a combination regimen.
Patients typically need a valid prescription from a treating oncologist confirming cancer diagnosis and BRAF V600 mutation testing results. NPP's regulatory team assists in preparing and verifying the documentation needed for a compliant import.
As an FDA-approved therapy for BRAF V600-mutated cancers, Tafinlar is sourced through authorized channels and imported under GDP-compliant logistics to preserve product quality throughout transit.
NPP sources Tafinlar directly from authorized pharmaceutical distributors to ensure product authenticity and full traceability. Every shipment is handled under Good Distribution Practice (GDP) conditions from origin to the patient's doorstep.
Tafinlar should be stored at 20°C to 25°C, with excursions permitted between 15°C and 30°C, and this condition is maintained throughout transit.
Once documentation and regulatory approvals are in place, delivery timelines are communicated transparently at the time of quotation, accounting for import clearance and last-mile logistics to the patient's city.
