SUTIB 50 MG CAPS 28'S

About

Sutib 50 Capsule is an antineoplastic (anticancer) medication used to treat gastrointestinal stromal tumors (cancer of the stomach, bowel, or esophagus) in patients who do not respond to imatinib. It is also prescribed for renal carcinoma (kidney cancer) that has spread to other parts of the body and for advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (cancer affecting hormone-producing cells in the pancreas).

The active ingredient, sunitinib, works by slowing the growth of cancer cells through two mechanisms. It interferes with a protein that promotes cell division, reducing cancer cell production, and inhibits angiogenesis—the formation of new blood vessels that supply nutrients to tumors—thereby depriving cancer cells of essential nutrients and leading to their death.

Take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Common side effects may include difficulty breathing, high blood pressure, extreme fatigue, swelling under the skin or around the eyes, mouth irritation or sores, dry mouth, taste changes, gastrointestinal issues (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, loss of appetite), hypothyroidism, dizziness, headache, nosebleeds, back or joint pain, pain in arms or legs, yellowing of the skin, rash on palms or soles, skin dryness, cough, fever, and sleep disturbances. Contact your doctor immediately if any side effects persist or worsen.

Sutib 50 Capsule should not be used by individuals allergic to any of its components. Use caution if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, liver or kidney problems, skin disorders, pancreas or gallbladder issues, history of blood clots or aneurysm, thyroid disorders, or thrombotic microangiopathy. It is not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years of age and should be used with caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Alcohol consumption should be avoided as it may increase the risk of side effects. Because this medicine may cause dizziness, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery unless you are fully alert.
