Description
Lenvat 4 Capsule contains lenvatinib, which is used to treat certain types of cancer. It works by blocking signals that help cancer cells grow and by preventing the cancer from forming new blood vessels, which are necessary for its survival. This helps slow down or stop the spread of the disease. Doctors usually prescribe this medicine for thyroid cancer that cannot be treated with surgery or radioactive iodine.
You should take Lenvat 4 Capsule exactly as your doctor tells you. Swallow it whole with water, with or without food, and try to take it at the same time every day. Do not change the dose or stop taking it unless your doctor advises you to.
Some common side effects include high blood pressure, tiredness, diarrhea, nausea, loss of appetite, weight loss, and swelling in the hands, feet, or legs. Your doctor will check your blood pressure and liver function regularly while you are taking this medicine.
Before starting treatment, tell your doctor if you have heart problems, bleeding issues, or liver or kidney disease. This medicine should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Contact your doctor immediately if you notice severe headache, chest pain, unusual bleeding, or signs of infection.
