Lenvatol 4mg Capsules contain the active ingredient lenvatinib, which is a type of tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Lenvatinib is indicated for the treatment of progressive or advanced thyroid cancer in cases where radioactive iodine therapy is not effective. It is also prescribed for treating patients with previously untreated liver cancer who are not eligible for surgical treatment.

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is a rare and aggressive form of thyroid cancer that typically occurs in patients over the age of 60. It causes an enlarged and hard thyroid gland and hoarseness in the voice as a result of paralysis of the voice box nerves. This type of thyroid cancer is often difficult to treat and has a poor prognosis.

Hepatocellular carcinoma, also known as liver cancer, can develop in people with preexisting liver conditions such as cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis B infection. It is the most common type of liver cancer and is often associated with a poor prognosis.

Benefits of Lenvatol Capsule

Thyroid cancer

The thyroid is a gland located at the base of the neck that produces hormones that regulate various important functions in the body, such as blood pressure, heart rate, body weight, and temperature. Thyroid cancer occurs when cancer cells form in the thyroid gland. In some cases, thyroid cancer may not cause any symptoms at first, but as it progresses, it may cause symptoms such as a lump in the neck or difficulty swallowing.

Lenvatol 4mg capsules, a medication prescribed to treat thyroid cancer, work by restricting the oxygen supply to cancer cells, which can help stop their growth and prevent them from spreading. It is a potent yet potentially toxic medication. Hence, it is important to discuss the risks and benefits of using this medication with your doctor. Also, strictly avoid drinking alcohol and smoking while undergoing treatment with Lenvatol. Make sure to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

How Lenvatol 4mg Capsule works?

Lenvatol works by blocking the enzyme receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). RTKs are proteins that help form new blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to cells, which are necessary for their growth and proliferation. In cancer cells, RTKs are present in high concentrations, and their activation can contribute to the growth and spread of the cancer. By inhibiting the action of RTKs, it may slow down the growth and multiplication of cancer cells. This medication is often used as part of a treatment plan for cancer, and it may be used in combination with other medications or therapies. If you have any questions about how this medication works, you should consult your doctor.
