Product Introduction
Regoside 40mg Tablet is a targeted therapy containing regorafenib. It is indicated for the treatment of colon cancer, rectal cancer, liver cancer, and gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST), a type of cancer affecting the stomach and bowel. Cancer is characterised by uncontrolled and abnormal cellular multiplication.
Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you have liver disorders, infection, bleeding problems, stomach and bowel problems, chest pain, heart diseases, high blood pressure, persistent headache, seizures, or if you have recently undergone or are scheduled to undergo a surgical procedure.
Regoside 40mg Tablet is not recommended for children and adolescents. Avoid consuming grapefruit juice during treatment, as it may alter the medicine's efficacy. Use effective contraception during treatment and for at least eight weeks after the final dose. Inform your doctor if you follow a salt-restricted diet, as Regoside 40mg Tablet contains sodium.

Regoside 40mg uses are: Colorectal cancer has started to spread to other parts of the body Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) (a type of stomach and bowel cancer) Liver cancer in adult patients who have already undergone treatment with Sorafenib (anticancer medicine)
How it works
Regoside 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.
How to Use
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.
