Axitinib: Indication, Dosage, Side Effect
Indication:
Axitinib is a prescription medicine used to treat advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), a type of kidney cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. It works by blocking certain proteins in the body—like VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) and PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor)—that help tumors form new blood vessels and grow. By stopping these signals, Axitinib helps slow down or stop the growth of cancer cells.
Dosage:
Axitinib is usually prescribed to treat advanced kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma), and the typical starting dose is 5 mg twice daily, about 12 hours apart. However, your doctor may adjust the dose based on how well your body responds or if you experience any side effects. Always swallow the tablet whole with water—do not crush, chew, or break it. You can take Axitinib with or without food, but it's best to take it at the same times each day to keep a steady level in your body.
Note:
Never change your dose or stop taking Axitinib without your doctor’s advice. Regular check-ups and blood pressure monitoring are important during treatment, as this medicine can affect blood pressure and other body functions.
