A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Lenvima is a kinase inhibitor used to treat certain types of cancer. Kinase inhibitors are enzyme inhibitors that blocks the action of one or more protein kinases which interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body. Lenvima is used to treat thyroid cancer. It is usually given after radioactive iodine has been tried without success. Lenvima is used together with everolimus (Afinitor) to treat advanced kidney cancer in people who have received one treatment course with another cancer medicine. Lenvima is used together with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) to treat advanced kidney cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic), or cannot be removed with surgery. Lenvima is also used together with Keytruda to treat a certain type of endometrial cancer (a type of uterine cancer) that has progressed and cannot be removed with surgery or radiation. Lenvima is also used to treat liver cancer that cannot be removed with surgery.
Take Lenvima exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Take Lenvima at the same time each day, with or without food. To get a full dose, you may need to take a combination of capsules with different amounts (strengths) of lenvatinib in them. Follow your doctor's dosing instructions very carefully. Swallow the capsule whole and do not crush, chew, break, or open it. If you cannot swallow a capsule whole, dissolve the capsules in water as follows: • Measure 1 tablespoon of water or apple juice and pour the liquid into a small glass. • Place only enough capsules for one dose into the liquid. Allow the capsules to dissolve for at least 10 minutes, then stir the mixture for at least 3 more minutes. • Drink this mixture right away. Add a little more water or juice to the glass, swirl gently and drink right away. Call your doctor if you are sick with vomiting or severe diarrhea. Prolonged illness can lead to dehydration and kidney failure. Drink plenty of liquids if you have diarrhea. Carefully follow your doctor's instructions about when to start taking medicine to prevent diarrhea while you are using Lenvima. You will need frequent medical tests and blood pressure checks. Pay special attention to your dental hygiene while taking Lenvima. Brush and floss your teeth regularly. If you need to have any dental work or surgery, tell the dentist or doctor ahead of time that you are using Lenvima. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
The active ingredient in Lenvima is lenvatinib.
