Composition:

AXITINIB-1MG

Uses:

Treatment of Renal Cell Carcinoma

Medicinal Benefits:

Axpero 1 mg Tablet contains Axitinib, which is used in treating advanced renal cell carcinoma after failure of prior systemic therapy. It works by stopping the action of a tyrosine kinase enzyme that causes the multiplication of cancerous cells. This helps stop the abnormal growth of cancer cells and thus reduce the further spread to other parts of the body. It also decreases the blood supply to cancer tumors to slow down the growth of the tumor.  In this way, Axpero 1 mg Tablet stops the body's production, spread and growth of cancerous cells.
