How rucaparib camsylate is dosed
From the FDA label for Rubraca (application NDA209115). Other rucaparib camsylate products — different forms, different strengths — are dosed differently. Follow the label for the one you were prescribed.
Recommended dose is 600 mg orally twice daily with or without food. ( 2.2 ) Continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ( 2.2 ) For adverse reactions, consider interruption of treatment or dose reduction. ( 2.3 ) Patients receiving RUBRACA for mCRPC should also receive a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analog concurrently or should have had bilateral orchiectomy. ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Patient Selection Maintenance Treatment of BRCA -mutated Recurrent Ovarian Cancer Select patients for the maintenance treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer with RUBRACA based on the presence of a deleterious BRCA mutation (germline and/or somatic) [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )]. An FDA-approved test for the detection of deleterious germline and/or somatic BRCA mutations is not currently available. Treatment of BRCA -mutated mCRPC after Androgen Receptor-directed Therapy Select patients for the treatment of mCRPC with RUBRACA based on the presence of a deleterious BRCA mutation (germline and/or somatic) in plasma specimens [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )]. A negative result from a plasma specimen does not mean that the patient’s tumor is negative for BRCA mutations. Should the plasma specimen have a negative result, consider performing further genomic testing using tumor specimens as clinically indicated.

Rucaparib Camsylate drug interactions
7.1 Effect of Rubraca on Other Drugs Certain CYP1A2, CYP3A, CYP2C9, or CYP2C19 Substrates Concomitant administration of Rubraca with CYP1A2, CYP3A, CYP2C9, or CYP2C19 substrates can increase the systemic exposure of these substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the frequency or severity of adverse reactions of these substrates. If concomitant administration is unavoidable between Rubraca and substrates of these enzymes where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions, decrease the substrate dosage in accordance with the approved prescribing information. If concomitant administration with warfarin (a CYP2C9 substrate) cannot be avoided, consider increasing the frequency of international normalized ratio (INR) monitoring. 7.1 Effect of Rubraca on Other Drugs Certain CYP1A2, CYP3A, CYP2C9, or CYP2C19 Substrates Concomitant administration of Rubraca with CYP1A2, CYP3A, CYP2C9, or CYP2C19 substrates can increase the systemic exposure of these substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the frequency or severity of adverse reactions of these substrates.

What people report to the FDA about rucaparib camsylate
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 1 reports naming rucaparib camsylate, and the FDA flagged 100% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:
- malignant neoplasm progression1 reports
- prostate cancer1 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean rucaparib camsylate caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label section above.

Frequently asked questions
What is rucaparib camsylate?
Rucaparib is an inhibitor of the mammalian polyadenosine 5'-diphosphoribose polymerase (PARP) enzyme.
Can you take rucaparib camsylate with other medicines?
It depends on the medicine. We check it against the FDA labels rather than guessing: our interaction checker searches each drug's own label for the other and quotes what it says, naming the section it came from. Run rucaparib camsylate against whatever else you take — and remember that a label not naming a drug is not the same as that combination being safe.
What forms does rucaparib camsylate come in?
Across the brands we track, rucaparib camsylate is currently marketed as tablet, per the FDA's National Drug Code Directory. Each form is dosed differently — follow the label for the exact product you were prescribed.
Is there a generic rucaparib camsylate?
We do not currently list a generic-labelled rucaparib camsylate product. That does not always mean none exists — it means none appears under a generic name in the FDA data we track. Ask your pharmacist.
