SORAHEET Tablet belongs to the group of medicine called ‘anti-cancer’ that is primarily indicated in the treatment of kidney, liver, and thyroid cancer. Kidney cancer is also known as renal cancer is a disease in which healthy cells of the kidney become malignant (cancerous), grow in an uncontrolled manner, and forms a tumour. Cancer of the liver is known as liver cancer. When cancer occurs in the liver, it destroys healthy cells of the liver and affects the ability of the liver to function normally. Thyroid cancer occurs when cells start multiplying in the thyroid gland and form a tumour. The tumour is a collection of abnormal cells.
SORAHEET Tablet contains ‘Sorafenib’ that falls in the category of medicines known as ‘kinase inhibitors’. It works by stopping the action of an abnormal protein that causes the multiplication of cancerous cells. In this way, it stops the spread of cancerous cells.
Take SORAHEET Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You are suggested to take SORAHEET Tablet as long as your doctor has prescribed it after checking your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as itching or skin rash, acne, dry skin, vomiting, diarrhoea, and loss of appetite. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

Uses of SORAHEET Tablet
Cancer (kidney, liver, and thyroid)
Medicinal Benefits
SORAHEET Tablet is a ‘ tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)’, that stops the uncontrolled growth and spread of cancerous cells. SORAFENIB is effective in treating thyroid, liver and kidney cancer. It acts by stopping the action of the abnormal protein that is responsible for the multiplication of cancerous cells. Whenever a new healthy cell is formed it undergoes a usual process of maturity. Cancerous cells form new cells more quickly so SORAFENIB targets cancerous cells and block the action of Tyrosine kinases enzymes (responsible for causing cancer). In this way, SORAFENIB stops the production, spread and growth of cancerous cells in the body.
