Lenvatinib 4 mg and 10 mg are prescription medicines used for certain types of cancer. Because lenvatinib can cause serious side effects, it should be taken only as directed by a qualified prescriber and obtained through a licensed pharmacy. The dose may vary depending on the condition being treated and the patient’s overall health.
Important Safety Information
Lenvatinib may increase blood pressure and can sometimes cause serious heart, kidney, liver, or blood-vessel problems. Regular monitoring may be recommended during treatment. Patients should promptly inform their prescriber about severe headache, chest pain, shortness of breath, unusual bleeding, severe abdominal pain, swelling, or significant changes in urination.
Common side effects may include tiredness, decreased appetite, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, mouth sores, and changes in blood pressure. Lenvatinib may also affect thyroid function, so periodic testing may be advised.
Precautions and Pharmacy Guidance
Tell your prescriber about all medicines, vitamins, and supplements you use, as some products may interact with lenvatinib. Patients with existing blood-pressure, heart, liver, kidney, or bleeding problems should discuss these conditions before starting treatment.
Do not change the dose, skip doses intentionally, or stop lenvatinib without professional advice. If a dose is missed, follow the instructions provided with your prescription rather than taking extra medicine.
Keep Lenvatinib 4 mg or 10 mg in its original packaging and store it as directed by your pharmacy. Keep it away from children and anyone for whom it was not prescribed.
