Product Overview:

Sorafenat (Sorafenib 200 mg) is an oral anti-cancer medication used primarily to treat advanced-stage cancers, including liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma), kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma), and thyroid cancer (differentiated thyroid carcinoma). Sorafenat is a generic form of Nexavar, offering the same therapeutic effects at a more affordable price.

How Sorafenat Works:

Sorafenat is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), which works by blocking certain proteins (tyrosine kinases) responsible for the growth and multiplication of cancer cells. It targets cancer cells by inhibiting their ability to grow blood vessels, effectively slowing down the spread of cancer. It also helps in shrinking tumors in certain types of cancer.

Indications:

Sorafenat is prescribed for:

• Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC): The most common form of liver cancer.
• Renal cell carcinoma (RCC): Advanced kidney cancer.
• Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC): Advanced thyroid cancer unresponsive to radioactive iodine therapy.

Dosage:

The standard recommended dose is 400 mg (two 200 mg tablets) twice daily, taken at least one hour before or two hours after a meal. However, the dosage may vary based on the individual patient’s condition and doctor's advice.

Key Benefits:

• Proven efficacy in extending life expectancy for patients with advanced liver, kidney, and thyroid cancers.
• Inhibits cancer cell growth and blood supply to tumors.
• Offers a cost-effective alternative to branded Nexavar (Sorafenib).
• Convenient oral administration with long-term use possible under medical supervision.

Common side effects may include:

• Fatigue, weight loss, diarrhea

• High blood pressure, nausea, and loss of appetite
• Mouth sores, dry skin, or hair thinning

In rare cases, it can cause severe bleeding or heart problems. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice and monitoring while taking Sorafenat.

Precautions:

• Pregnancy: Sorafenat can harm an unborn baby; effective contraception must be used during treatment.
• Monitoring: Regular blood tests are required to check for liver function, thyroid function, and blood pressure.
