Lenvatol 10mg The capsule contains the active ingredient lenvatinib, which belongs to a group of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. These medications work by inhibiting the action of proteins called receptor tyrosine kinases, which are involved in the development of new blood vessels. By inhibiting these proteins, Lenvatinib can help reduce the supply of oxygen and nutrients to cancer cells, which can lead to their death and the shrinkage of cancer tumors.

The prescription medication is used to treat cancer in adults. It is specifically indicated for the treatment of advanced or progressive thyroid cancer when radioactive iodine therapy is no longer effective and for the treatment of liver cancer in patients who are not eligible for surgical treatment.

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a rare and aggressive form of thyroid cancer that typically occurs in older adults. It is characterized by the rapid growth of cancer cells in the thyroid gland, which can cause the gland to become enlarged and hard. ATC can also cause hoarseness in the voice due to paralysis of the nerve in the voice box.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a type of liver cancer that develops due to preexisting liver conditions, such as cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis B infection. HCC is the most common type of liver cancer and tends to grow quickly and spread to other parts of the body. Symptoms of HCC may include abdominal pain, jaundice, weight loss, and fatigue.

Uses of Lenvatol 10mg Capsule

  • Lenvatol 10mg is used to treat locally recurrent or metastatic thyroid cancer in adults when radioactive iodine treatment is not effective.
  • It is also used to treat unresectable liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) in adults.
  • In combination with pembrolizumab, it is used to treat advanced endometrial carcinoma in adults when the cancer has spread and cannot be treated by surgery or radiation therapy.
  • When combined with everolimus, it is used to treat advanced renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer) in adults who have received previous anti-angiogenic therapy.
  • How Lenvatol 10mg Capsule works?

    Lenvatol capsules are medications that target the enzyme receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). These RTKs help create new blood vessels that provide oxygen and nutrients to cells, aiding in their growth. By inhibiting the receptors that contribute to the growth of blood vessels in cancer cells, Lenvatol effectively slows down the proliferation and multiplication of cancer cells that contain high levels of RTKs.
