Lenvanix 10mg Capsule 30`s

Doctors prescribe it for adults with progressive or advanced tumours.

Lenvanix 10mg Capsule Ingredients and Usage

Lenvanix 10mg Capsule contains lenvatinib, a multikinase inhibitor used in targeted cancer therapy. A multikinase inhibitor is a drug that blocks several tumour growth signals at once. Doctors prescribe Lenvanix for adults with specific advanced cancers.

Lenvanix 10mg Capsule treats radioactive iodine refractory differentiated thyroid cancer as a single agent therapy. It also treats advanced renal cell carcinoma when combined with everolimus after prior antiangiogenic treatment. Lenvanix serves as first line therapy for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma, a primary liver cancer.

How Does Lenvanix 10mg Capsule Work?

Lenvanix 10mg Capsule blocks receptor tyrosine kinases, the enzymes that drive tumour blood vessel growth. Lenvatinib inhibits VEGFR 1, 2, and 3, the vascular endothelial growth factor receptors that fuel angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels that supply oxygen to tumours.

Lenvanix also inhibits FGFR 1 to 4, PDGFR alpha, RET, and KIT receptors. These targets stop cancer cells from proliferating and starve the tumour of its blood supply. This dual action shrinks tumours and slows cancer progression.

• Lenvanix prolongs the QT interval, a heart rhythm measure linked to dangerous arrhythmias. Avoid combining it with other QT prolonging drugs.

• Lenvanix causes embryo fetal harm and is contraindicated in pregnancy. Women of reproductive age must use effective contraception during treatment.

• Lenvanix can cause hepatotoxicity, renal failure, and gastrointestinal perforation. Patients need regular liver, kidney, and blood pressure monitoring.
