About Adtrinib 200mg Tablet

SORAFENIB belongs to the group of medicine called ‘anti-cancer’ that is primarily indicated in the treatment of kidney, liver, and thyroid cancer.  Kidney cancer is also known as renal cancer is a disease in which healthy cells of the kidney become malignant (cancerous), grow in an uncontrolled manner, and forms a tumor. Cancer of the liver is known as liver cancer. When cancer occurs in the liver, it destroys healthy cells of the liver and affects the ability of the liver to function normally. Thyroid cancer occurs when cells start multiplying in the thyroid gland and form a tumor. The tumor is a collection of abnormal cells.

SORAFENIB contains 'Sorafenib' that falls in the category of medicines known as 'kinase inhibitors'. It works by stopping the action of an abnormal protein that causes the multiplication of cancerous cells. In this way, it stops the spread of cancerous cells.

Medicinal Benefits of Adtrinib 200mg Tablet

SORAFENIB is a ' tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)', that stops the uncontrolled growth and spread of cancerous cells. SORAFENIB is effective in treating thyroid, liver, and kidney cancer. It acts by stopping the action of the abnormal protein that is responsible for the multiplication of cancerous cells. Whenever a new healthy cell is formed it undergoes a usual process of maturity. Cancerous cells form new cells more quickly so SORAFENIB targets cancerous cells and block the action of Tyrosine kinases enzymes (responsible for causing cancer). In this way, SORAFENIB stops the production, spread, and growth of cancerous cells in the body.
