Ingredients & How They Work

Cabozantinib:
Caboxen contains cabozantinib, a multi-kinase inhibitor that targets enzymes involved in tumor growth, blood vessel formation, and cancer spread. By blocking these pathways, cabozantinib can help slow tumor progression and improve patient outcomes in specific cancers.

Key Benefits

Caboxen is effective in advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), treats advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and is useful for metastatic medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). It helps slow tumor growth and cancer progression and can be used in patients unresponsive to other treatments.

How to Use

Caboxen should be taken orally exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow the dosing schedule recommended for your specific cancer type. Swallow capsules whole; do not crush or chew. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, liver function, and other labs is essential. Do not alter or stop the medication without consulting your doctor.

Side Effects & Precautions

Common Side Effects

Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, loss of appetite, high blood pressure, hand-foot syndrome (pain, redness, or swelling in hands or feet), liver function abnormalities, and increased risk of bleeding.

Precautions

Regular blood pressure monitoring is needed due to the risk of hypertension. Periodic liver tests are required to monitor liver function. Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements, as cabozantinib can interact with other drugs. Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding only if the benefits outweigh the risks and after consulting your doctor. Caboxen may affect wound healing, so caution is advised around surgeries or injuries.

Who Should Use

Caboxen is intended for adults with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and individuals with metastatic medullary thyroid cancer (MTC).
