Votrient How to Take

Votrient (Pazopanib) belongs to the group of cancer-fighting medications known as antineoplastics and more specifically to a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. These medications are antitumour medications that slow the growth of blood vessels that feed nutrients to cancer cells. By slowing the growth of these blood vessels, Votrient (Pazopanib) can help slow the growth of tumours, which are collections of cancer cells. Votrient (Pazopanib) also works directly on cancer cells to slow down the speed at which they grow.

Votrient (Pazopanib) is used by people who have either not been treated with medication or have unsuccessfully used cytokines (another type of medication) to treat cancer in the kidneys that has metastasized, or spread to other parts of the body. It is also used to treat certain types of soft tissue sarcoma, when other treatment has not worked.

Votrient (Pazopanib) has been shown to slow tumour growth, but it has not yet been shown to help people that take it live longer or have a better quality of life.

Votrient (Pazopanib) may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Votrient (Pazopanib) may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Votrient (Pazopanib) may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Your doctor may have suggested Votrient (Pazopanib) for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Votrient (Pazopanib), speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Votrient (Pazopanib) without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Votrient (Pazopanib) to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Votrient (Pazopanib) if their doctor has not prescribed it.
