How Does Votrient 200mg Work

Votrient 200 mg, which contains the active ingredient Pazopanib, works by targeting and blocking specific proteins known as tyrosine kinases that are involved in the growth, spread, and survival of cancer cells. These proteins play a critical role in the development of new blood vessels (a process called angiogenesis) that supply nutrients and oxygen to tumors, enabling them to grow and spread.
