About Mitant 50 Mg Capsules

Mitant 50mg Capsules contains Sunitinib Malate 50 mg, an anti-cancer medicine belonging to a group known as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). It is used in the treatment of kidney cancer and gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST). Sunitinib blocks certain proteins involved in cancer-cell growth and the formation of new blood vessels that supply tumors. This helps slow the growth and spread of cancer cells. It should be used only under the supervision of an experienced healthcare professional.
