Frequently asked questions

What is Inlyta used for?+
Inlyta (axitinib) is indicated for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma in adult patients. It works as an anti‑angiogenic therapy to slow tumor growth by inhibiting blood vessel formation.
How does axitinib work?+
Axitinib selectively blocks the tyrosine kinase activity of VEGFR‑1, VEGFR‑2 and VEGFR‑3. This inhibition disrupts VEGF‑mediated signaling, reducing tumor angiogenesis and limiting the supply of nutrients needed for cancer cell proliferation.
What is the usual dose of Inlyta?+
The prescribed dose of Inlyta is determined by the treating physician based on individual patient factors, disease status, and tolerance. Patients should follow the dosing instructions provided by their healthcare professional.
Is Inlyta safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Inlyta is classified as Pregnancy Category D, indicating evidence of risk to the fetus. It should not be used during pregnancy unless clearly needed. Breastfeeding is not recommended while on treatment because the drug may be excreted in milk.
How do I order Inlyta from GNH USA?+
To order Inlyta, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and necessary import documentation.
How does Inlyta compare with other anti‑angiogenic agents?+
Inlyta (axitinib) is a selective VEGFR inhibitor with a relatively short half‑life, allowing rapid dose adjustments. Compared with broader‑spectrum agents like sunitinib, axitinib offers more specific VEGFR targeting, which may result in a different side‑effect profile and dosing flexibility.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Inlyta?+
Inlyta tablets should be stored at temperatures below 25 °C, in the original container, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the product out of reach of children and do not use if the packaging is damaged.

What are the most serious risks associated with Inlyta?+
Serious risks include severe hypertension, arterial thromboembolic events, gastrointestinal perforation, hepatic failure, and significant bleeding. Patients should be monitored closely for these events and report any concerning symptoms immediately.
Who should not use Inlyta?+
Inlyta should not be used in patients with uncontrolled hypertension, recent arterial thrombotic events, active gastrointestinal perforation, severe hepatic impairment, or in pregnant women unless the benefits outweigh the risks.
