Lenvima 14mg Capsules (Lenvatinib)
Lenvima 14mg contains lenvatinib, a targeted cancer medicine known as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It works by blocking several enzymes that tumours use to grow and to form new blood vessels. By interfering with these signals and cutting off the tumour’s blood supply, it slows the growth and spread of certain cancers. Lenvima uses include the treatment of thyroid cancer, advanced liver cancer, advanced kidney cancer, and certain other cancers, and it is prescribed and supervised by an oncologist.
