Sutinat 25 Capsule is classified as an ‘antineoplastic agent’ and is utilized for the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (cancer affecting the stomach, bowel, or esophagus) in patients who do not respond to imatinib, another anticancer medication. Additionally, it is prescribed for renal carcinoma (kidney cancer) that has metastasized to other areas of the body, as well as advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (cancer impacting hormone-producing cells in the pancreas).
Sutinat 25 Capsule contains the active ingredient sunitinib. It functions by decelerating the proliferation of cancer cells through two mechanisms. Firstly, it disrupts the activity of a protein that encourages cell division, thereby reducing the production of cancer cells. Secondly, it can inhibit angiogenesis, the process of forming blood vessels that supply nutrients to cancer cells. This inhibition ultimately leads to a reduction in nutrient supply to the cancer cells, resulting in their eventual death.
It is essential to take this medication precisely as directed by your healthcare provider. Common side effects associated with Sutinat 25 Capsule include difficulty in breathing, elevated blood pressure, extreme fatigue, swelling due to fluid retention under the skin and around the eyes, oral pain or irritation, mouth sores, dry mouth, altered taste, upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite, reduced thyroid gland activity (hypothyroidism), dizziness, headaches, nosebleeds, back pain, joint pain, pain in the arms and legs, yellowing of the skin, rashes on the palms and soles, skin dryness, cough, fever, and sleep disturbances. It is crucial to notify your doctor immediately if any of these side effects persist or worsen.
Taking Sutinat 25 Capsule is not advisable if you have an allergy to any of its components. Caution is advised when using Sutinat 25 Capsule in patients with hypertension, cardiovascular issues, diabetes, liver or kidney disorders, skin conditions, pancreatic or gallbladder issues, a history of blood clots, or aneurysms (weakness in the blood vessel wall).
