Lenvatol 10mg Strip Of 10 Capsules

Lenvatol capsule contains lenvatinib, which is used to treat thyroid cancer in adults. This medication works by inhibiting proteins that promote the growth and spread of cancer cells, helping to slow disease progression and potentially reduce tumor size. Take Lenvatol capsule with or without food, ideally at the same time each day for optimal results.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage and frequency. Common side effects may include high blood pressure, bleeding, diarrhea, severe headaches, and decreased appetite. If side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

Before taking Lenvatol capsule, inform your doctor if you have heart disease, liver, or kidney problems, or if you are taking any medications to treat infections. Many other medications can affect or be affected by this medicine, so keep your doctor informed about all the medications you are taking. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctors before starting this medicine, as it may harm the developing baby.
