How Sunitax 12.5mg Capsule Works?

The Sunitax 12.5mg capsule is designed to interrupt the growth and spread of cancer cells by targeting specific enzymes known as multiple receptor tyrosine kinases. The main function of this medication is to block the actions of these enzymes within the cancer cells. This inhibition of receptors, growth factors, stem cells, and tyrosine kinase enzymes causes an interruption of cancer cell signaling.
