Important Dosage Information: Reduce the dose for certain patients with renal or hepatic impairment [see Dosage Modifications for Severe Renal Impairment and Dosage Modifications for Severe Hepatic Impairment as follows; Renal Impairment and Hepatic Impairment under Precautions].
Take LENVIMA once daily, with or without food, at the same time each day [see Pharmacology: Pharmacokinetics under Actions]. If a dose is missed and cannot be taken within 12 hours, skip that dose and take the next dose at the usual time of administration.
