Soranib 200mg Tablets is a targeted therapy medication used to treat specific types of advanced cancers. It works by inhibiting multiple cellular pathways involved in tumour growth and angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels that supply tumours).
How it Works:
- Multiple Targets: Sorafenib blocks the activity of several key proteins, including receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and Raf kinases. These proteins are involved in various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, survival, and angiogenesis.
- Inhibiting Cancer Cell Growth: By inhibiting these proteins, Sorafenib slows down the growth of cancer cells and reduces their ability to spread to other parts of the body.
- Reducing Blood Supply: Sorafenib also targets proteins involved in angiogenesis, the process of forming new blood vessels. By inhibiting angiogenesis, Sorafenib can reduce the blood supply to tumors, further limiting their growth.
Important Considerations:
- Side Effects: Sorafenib can cause side effects, including fatigue, diarrhea, high blood pressure, and skin problems.
- Drug Interactions: It’s important to inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, 1 as they may interact with Sorafenib.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before taking Sorafenib if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.
Note: Sorafenib is a prescription medication and should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
