How it works

Soranamo 200mg Tablet works by inhibiting multiple protein kinases involved in tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels that supply tumors). Specifically, it targets receptors for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and Raf kinases, which play key roles in cancer development and progression. This stops the growth and spread of the tumor cells to other organs, as well the formation of blood vessels in the tumor cells.

How to Use

The medicine will be prescribed to you by a healthcare professional in a hospital setting. It is not recommended to take this medication with meals that are high in fat since this may reduce Soranamo 200mg Tablet's effectiveness. Take the pills at least one hour before or two hours after a high-fat meal if you plan to eat one. The dose will be decided by your healthcare professional based on your conditions. Avoid crushing, opening, or dissolving the tablet and swallow it whole with a glass of water. Take the Soranamo 200mg Tablet at the same time every day.
