Sunixar 25mg Capsule consists of the active ingredient Sunitinib. It is classified as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which means that it works by blocking certain enzymes called tyrosine kinases that are involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells. This medication treats gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), rare cancer that can start anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract. This medication is also used to treat advanced kidney cancer and pancreatic cancer called pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET). Cancer is a disorder in which abnormal cells grow in an uncontrolled manner.  It is not recommended for people under 18.

Avoid taking grapefruit in any form during the treatment with Sunixar 25mg Capsule. Check with your dentist if you have any problems in the mouth, such as mouth pain, swelling, or sores inside the mouth, before starting treatment.
