Medical Description
Nexavar tablet contains sorafenib as its active ingredient. It is a prescription cancer medicine that belongs to a group called kinase inhibitors. Unlike medicines that target just one protein, sorafenib blocks multiple proteins involved in cancer cell growth and in the formation of new blood vessels that tumours need to survive and expand (a process called angiogenesis). Blocking several of these proteins at once, it helps slow the growth and spread of cancer. It comes as a round, red film-coated tablet taken by mouth.
This medicine is used to treat three types of cancer in adults: liver cancer ( hepatocellular carcinoma); advanced kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma); and thyroid cancer that has spread or come back, is getting worse, and is no longer responding to radioactive iodine treatment (locally recurrent or metastatic progressive differentiated thyroid carcinoma). It is taken on its own and not in combination with standard chemotherapy for these cancers.
Nexavar tablet is an oral medicine taken at home, under the supervision of a specialist doctor experienced in cancer treatment. Take it at the same time each day and follow the recommended food instructions. Treatment usually continues as long as it is helping and the side effects remain manageable.
