Lenvima 4 MG Capsule 10 contains lenvatinib (4 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• VEGF receptor inhibition: Lenvatinib blocks vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR1, VEGFR2, and VEGFR3), which prevents the formation of new blood vessels that tumours need to grow and survive.

• FGF receptor blocking: It inhibits fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR1-4), which play a crucial role in tumour development and progression.

• PDGFR inhibition: The medicine blocks platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα), preventing signals that promote cancer cell growth.

• RET and KIT receptor targeting: Lenvatinib stops the activity of these receptors, which are involved in cellular processes that can lead to cancer development.

• Anti-angiogenesis effect: By blocking multiple receptors, it effectively starves tumours of nutrients by preventing the formation of blood vessels that supply the cancer.
