So, Cabozantinib is this tiny, super special medicine, like a superhero of drugs, known as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, or TKI for short. It’s mostly used to fight two kinds of cancer—Renal Cell Carcinoma and Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Now, here’s the cool part—it goes after multiple kinases, these are like the baddies it needs to beat, stuff like VEGFR, c-Met, MerTK, and AXL.
You can get it in 20, 40, and 60 mg tablets. They’re the kind that have this film coating and you take them once a day. They recommend adults take the 60 mg, which you need to have on an empty tummy, around the same time each day.
Each bottle comes with 30 tablets, so you’ve got a month’s worth. Starts with 60 mg a day for people with RCC or HCC. Keep going until the cancer spreads or something bad happens that might need your dose to change.
Always gotta be under a doc or a healthcare pro’s wing when you’re on this stuff.
