Votrient 400mg Tablets (Pazopanib)
Votrient 400mg Tablet contains pazopanib, a targeted cancer medicine known as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It works by blocking several enzymes (kinases) that tumours use to form new blood vessels and to grow. By cutting off this blood supply and interfering with tumour signalling, it slows the growth and spread of certain cancers. Votrient uses include the treatment of advanced kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma) and certain types of soft tissue sarcoma, and it is prescribed and supervised by an oncologist.
