About Sotoxen 120 Mg
Sotoxen 120 Mg (Sotorasib) is used in the treatment of a specific type of lung cancer (non-small cell lung cancer; NSCLC) that has metastasized to other organs or cannot be surgically excised in adults who have previously undergone at least one treatment. Sotorasib belongs to a class of drugs known as KRAS inhibitors. It acts by inhibiting the action of the abnormal protein that drives cancer cells to proliferate. This helps prevent or reduce the spread of cancer cells.
