It works by slowing down or preventing the spread of cancer cells. Pazopanib is currently used to treat adult patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC, a cancer that begins in the cells of the kidney) and advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS) who have received chemotherapy.

Pazopanib is available as an oral tablet. It is generally taken once a day on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Take pazopanib at about the same time each day, and do not take more or less often than prescribed by your doctor. Doctors may adjust the dose during a patient's treatment or may stop treatment, depending on how well the drug works for the patient and the side effects they may experience. In general, you should continue taking pazopanib even if you feel well. Do not stop taking pazopanib without talking to your doctor.
