So, Sorafenib is this medicine that helps with advanced kidney cancer, a type of liver cancer that can’t be removed, and a certain kind of thyroid cancer that doesn’t respond to iodine treatment. It works by stopping a bunch of different kinases, like VEGFR, PDGFR, and RAF kinases. It’s available as these 200 mg tablets.
You’re supposed to take 400 mg two times a day, so 800 mg in total, and it’s best taken on an empty stomach. These tablets come in bottles with 120 pills each. Sorafenib stops cells from multiplying and limits blood vessel growth.
It’s usually taken on an empty stomach because it helps the medicine absorb better. It can have some side effects like feeling tired, having a rash on your hands and feet, or your blood pressure going up.
