Adsunib 12.5mg 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 is used to treat gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), a 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. 

Before taking Adsunib 12.5mg Capsule, it is important to discuss with the physician if you have blood conditions, heart problems, liver disorders, kidney problems, skin disorders, diabetes, seizures, or thyroid disorders.

It works by inhibiting the activity of specific proteins known as tyrosine kinases, which are involved in the signaling pathways that control cell growth and division. It can help to prevent cancer cells from growing and spreading by blocking these pathways.
