About The Product

  • Colorectal Cancer
  • Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST)
  • Liver Cancer (Hepatocellular Carcinoma)

Regonat 40 mg Tablet is a prescription anti-cancer medicine containing Regorafenib, mainly used for advanced colorectal cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), and liver cancer when other treatments are no longer effective.

Regorafenib 40mg is a kinase inhibitor that stops the functioning of certain enzymes to inhibit cancer cells' proliferation and prevent their nutrition through blood vessels. The tablet should be taken with a low-fat meal at the same time each day, swallowed whole without crushing or chewing.

Because it is a potent medicine, treatment must be supervised by an oncologist, with regular blood tests to monitor liver function and blood cells. Common side effects include diarrhea, infection, high blood pressure, hand-foot syndrome, fatigue, rash, and digestive issues, and it is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. ​
