Overview Sunisam 25mg Capsule

Axitinib 25mg capsules treat kidney and gastrointestinal stromal cancers. Its mechanism involves inhibiting enzymes crucial for cancer cell proliferation, thereby reducing tumor size and growth rate. Axitinib 25mg capsules may be administered with or without food, but consistent daily timing optimizes efficacy. Dosage and frequency are determined by your physician based on your condition and may be adjusted. Strictly adhere to your doctor's instructions; improper usage or overdose can lead to severe adverse effects. Therapeutic benefits may take weeks or months to manifest; discontinue only under medical guidance. Common side effects encompass fatigue, loose stools, queasiness, vomiting, altered taste perception, and reduced appetite. Regular blood pressure and thyroid function monitoring may be recommended. Axitinib can lower blood glucose, potentially causing hypoglycemic episodes (fainting). Diabetics require frequent blood sugar checks and potential anti-diabetic medication dosage adjustments. Inform your physician of any pre-existing heart, liver, kidney conditions, or bleeding disorders. Interactions with other medications are possible; disclose all medications to your healthcare provider. Avoid pregnancy during treatment; effective contraception for both partners is crucial.
