How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Sorafenib Tosylate). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Sorafenib is a kinase inhibitor that decreases tumor cell proliferation in vitro.

Sorafenib was shown to inhibit multiple intracellular (c-CRAF, BRAF and mutant BRAF) and cell surface kinases (KIT, FLT-3, RET, RET/PTC, VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3, and PDGFR-ß).

The shape is a standard model drawn from the two times above, not a measurement. How fast a medicine acts and wears off also depends on the dose, the form and the person.
How the body breaks it down

Sorafenib undergoes oxidative metabolism by hepatic CYP3A4, as well as glucuronidation by UGT1A9.

How it leaves the body

Following oral administration of a 100 mg dose of a solution formulation of sorafenib, 96% of the dose was recovered within 14 days, with 77% of the dose excreted in feces and 19% of the dose excreted in urine as glucuronidated metabolites.

With food

Effects of Food With a moderate-fat meal (30% fat; 700 calories), bioavailability was similar to that in the fasted state.
