About Sorafenat 200 Tablet 60's

Sorafenat 200 Tablet 60's 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 tumour. 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 tumour. The tumour is a collection of abnormal cells.

Sorafenat 200 Tablet 60's 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.
