About Tunib 12.5 mg Capsule
Tunib 12.5 mg Capsule belongs to the class of medications called ‘antineoplastic agents’ used in treating gastrointestinal stromal tumors (cancer of the stomach, bowel, or esophagus) in which patients don’t respond to imatinib (another anticancer agent). It is also used to treat renal carcinoma (kidney cancer) that has spread to other parts of the body and advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (cancer that has affected hormone-producing cells in the pancreas).
Tunib 12.5 mg Capsule contains sunitinib. It acts by slowing down the growth of cancer cells by two processes. It interferes with the action of a protein that promotes cell division and thereby decreases cancer cell production. It can inhibit a process called angiogenesis, the development of blood supply to the cancer cells. This effect inhibits the nutrient supply to the cancer cells, thereby causing cancer cell death eventually.
