Regdual 40mg Tablet binds to tyrosine kinase receptors and inhibits the VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) and EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) receptors on the cell surface. By binding to these receptors, this medication blocks an important pathway that promotes cell division. This helps to prevent the growth and multiplication of cancer cells.

Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Swallow the tablets whole with water. Do not crush or chew the tablets. Avoid drinking grapefruit juice while taking this medicine.
