Description

Regonat (Regorafenib) – Drug Overview

Regonat is a prescription anticancer medication that contains regorafenib as its active ingredient. It belongs to a class of medicines known as multikinase inhibitors, which work by blocking specific enzymes involved in tumor growth and the formation of new blood vessels that supply cancer cells.

Uses
Regonat is commonly prescribed for:

• Metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC)
• Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) after failure of other treatments
• Hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) in certain patients

How It Works
Regorafenib inhibits multiple protein kinases that play a role in cancer cell proliferation, tumor progression, and angiogenesis (blood vessel formation). By targeting these pathways, the drug helps slow the growth and spread of cancer cells.

Dosage and Administration
The dosage is determined by the treating oncologist based on the patient’s condition and response to therapy. The tablets should be taken exactly as prescribed, usually after a low-fat meal.

Common Side Effects

• Fatigue
• Diarrhea
• Loss of appetite
• High blood pressure
• Hand-foot skin reaction (redness, swelling, or pain on palms and soles)
• Mouth sores
• Weight loss

Warnings and Precautions
Patients should undergo regular monitoring of liver function, blood pressure, and overall health during treatment. Any signs of severe bleeding, liver problems, chest pain, or severe skin reactions should be reported to a healthcare professional immediately.

Storage
Store the medication at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight, and keep it out of reach of children.

Note: Regonat should only be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider.
