SORAFENAT 200MG

Sorafenat 200 mg Tablet is classified as an ‘anti-cancer’ medication, primarily used for treating kidney, liver, and thyroid cancers. Kidney cancer, also referred to as renal cancer, occurs when healthy kidney cells become malignant, proliferate uncontrollably, and form a tumor. Liver cancer, on the other hand, involves the destruction of healthy liver cells, impairing the liver’s normal functioning. Thyroid cancer arises when cells in the thyroid gland begin to multiply abnormally, resulting in a tumor, which is essentially a mass of abnormal cells.

The active ingredient in Sorafenat 200 mg Tablet is ‘Sorafenib’, which belongs to a class of drugs known as ‘kinase inhibitors’. This medication functions by inhibiting the action of an abnormal protein responsible for the proliferation of cancerous cells, thereby preventing the spread of cancer.

It is important to take Sorafenat 200 mg Tablet exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. You should continue taking the medication for the duration prescribed by your doctor, who will assess your medical condition. Some patients may experience common side effects, including itching or skin rashes, acne, dry skin, nausea, diarrhea, and decreased appetite. Most of these side effects are not serious and will diminish over time. However, if these side effects persist, it is advisable to consult your doctor.

For effective treatment, continue using Sorafenat 200 mg Tablet for the entire period recommended by your physician. This medication should not be taken if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, as it can lead to severe birth defects. Additionally, breastfeeding mothers should avoid Sorafenat 200 mg Tablet since it can be transmitted through breast milk and may pose risks to the infant. Older adults may have heightened sensitivity to this medication, so dosage adjustments may be necessary based on their condition. It is also recommended to refrain from consuming alcohol while taking Sorafenat 200 mg Tablet.
