Take SORAFENIB as prescribed by your doctor. You are suggested to take SORAFENIB as long as your doctor has prescribed it after checking your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as itching or skin rash, acne, dry skin, vomiting, diarrhoea, and loss of appetite. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
To treat your condition effectually, continue taking SORAFENIB for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Do not take SORAFENIB if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy as SORAFENIB causes serious birth defects. SORAFENIB should not be taken by breastfeeding mothers as it passes into breast milk and may cause a possible risk to the infant. Elderly people are more sensitive to the medicine so the doctor may adjust the dosage according to the condition. Avoid consuming alcohol along with SORAFENIB as it could lead to increased dizziness.
