How does VOTRIENT work?
VOTRIENT is a targeted therapy for cancer known as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). It targets and blocks specific proteins in cancer cells called tyrosine kinases, including those in the VEGFR family, among others. These proteins are involved in providing blood supply to the tumor. By blocking these tyrosine kinases, it prevents blood vessels from forming and supplying blood to the tumor. This helps slow and stop cancer growth.

The typical dose is 800 mg (four 200 mg tablets) by mouth once daily. Your dose might be lower if you have liver problems. During treatment, your dose can change based on how well you tolerate VOTRIENT. It might also change if you’re taking certain medications that interact with VOTRIENT.
