Nexavar Tab 200Mg 6X10S, containing the active ingredient Sorafenib, is an oral multi-kinase inhibitor. Sorafenib is employed in targeted cancer therapy, specifically for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer), hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer), and differentiated thyroid carcinoma (thyroid cancer). 

By blocking certain proteins that promote cancer cell growth and cutting off the blood supply to the tumor, Sorafenib seeks to inhibit tumor growth and progression.
